how to convert enum value to string

You can also use the ToString() method which is overloaded to return the enum constant as a string. For example:

using System;

enum Colors

{

Red = 1,

Green = 2,

Blue = 3

}

class Test

{

static void Main()

{

Colors c1 = Colors.Red;

string s1 = c1.ToString();

Console.WriteLine(c1); // Red

Colors c2 = (Colors)3;

string s2 = c2.ToString();

Console.WriteLine(c2); // Blue as the corresponding value is 3

Colors c3 = (Colors)4;

string s3 = c3.ToString();

Console.WriteLine(c3); // 4 as there's no enum constant corresponding to this value

Console.ReadKey();

}
