And I want to retrieve

Answer 1

Get enum int value via reflection using this method

protected static object PropertyValue(object obj, string propertyName)
{
  var property = obj.GetType().GetProperty(propertyName);
  if(property == null)
    throw new Exception($"{propertyName} not found on {obj.GetType().FullName}");

  if (property.PropertyType.IsEnum)
    return (int) property.GetValue(obj);
  return property.GetValue(obj);
}

Answer 2

Why do you need reflection?

int value = (int)TestEnum.TestOne;

Answer 3

Or, if you needed the actual enum object (of type TestEnum) :

MemberInfo[] memberInfos = typeof(MyEnum).GetMembers(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Static);
string alerta = "";
for (int i = 0; i < memberInfos.Length; i++) {

alerta += memberInfos[i].Name + " - ";


/* alerta += memberInfos[i].GetType().Name + "\n"; */ 

// the actual enum object (of type MyEnum, above code is of type System.Reflection.RuntimeFieldInfo)
object enumValue = memberInfos[i].GetValue(0);
alerta += enumValue.ToString() + "\n";
}
