Enum string

[Guest]

How can you get the string representation of an enum in the .NET Compact
Framework?

Enum Colors
Red
Green
Blue
Yellow
End Enum 'Colors

In the full framework you can simple do something like:
Colors.Red.ToString("g")
-Or-
[Enum].GetName(GetType(Colors), Colors.Red)
'Both return the string "Red"

But I cannot find a way to do that in the compact framework. Any ideas?

Thanks

Take a look at EnumEx.GetName[1] in the SDF[2]

Hi,

FWIW: This all falls apart if you later decide to obfuscate.
