Getting attributes of Enum’s value

by

This should do what you need.

try
{
  var enumType = typeof(FunkyAttributesEnum);
  var memberInfos = 
  enumType.GetMember(FunkyAttributesEnum.NameWithoutSpaces1.ToString());
  var enumValueMemberInfo = memberInfos.FirstOrDefault(m => 
  m.DeclaringType == enumType);
  var valueAttributes = 
  enumValueMemberInfo.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(DescriptionAttribute), false);
  var description = ((DescriptionAttribute)valueAttributes[0]).Description;
}
catch
{
    return FunkyAttributesEnum.NameWithoutSpaces1.ToString()
}
