Type.GetEnumName() Method in C#
The Type.GetEnumName() method in C# returns the name of the constant that has the specified value, for the current enumeration type.
Syntax
Following is the syntax −
public virtual string GetEnumName (object val);
Above, Val is the value whose name is to be retrieved.
Example
Let us now see an example to implement the Type.GetEnumName() method −
using System;
public class Demo {
enum Vehicle {Car, Bus, Bike}
public static void Main(){
Vehicle v = Vehicle.Bike;
Type type = v.GetType();
string str = type.GetEnumName(v);
Console.WriteLine("GetEnumName() to return the constant name = " + str);
}
}Output
This will produce the following output −
GetEnumName() to return the constant name = Bike
Example
Let us now see another example to implement the Type.GetEnumName() method −
using System;
public class Demo {
enum Vehicle {Car, Bus, Bike}
public static void Main(){
try {
Vehicle v = Vehicle.Bike;
Type type = typeof(string);
string str = type.GetEnumName(v);
Console.WriteLine("GetEnumName() to return the constant name = " + str);
}
catch (ArgumentException e){
Console.WriteLine("Not an enum!");
Console.Write("{0}", e.GetType(), e.Message);
}
}
