I like enums, but sometimes I wish I could provide a better mechanism for getting the descriptive name for the enum. I did a search for better mechanisms and really like the result I found at http://www.dotnet247.com/24... Basically, you use the [Description(”Descrip... attribute to put the description into the enum. Note that the Description attribute could also contain a resource string identifier, so that you could easily do localization. Nice and neat....
