Generic Method To get values of an Enum

 

Recently I got a requirement of creating a generic method to pass an Enum Name & get all the Enum Names & Values.

Method will return a collection of following class objects.

public class EnumValueDto  {

      public string Id { get; set; }

      public string Value { get; set; }
  }

private IList<EnumValueDto  > GetEnumValueList<T>()
    {
        IList<EnumValueDto  > enumValueList = new List<EnumValueDto  >();

        
        var values = Enum.GetValues(typeof(T)).Cast<T>();
        var enumerable = values as T[] ?? values.ToArray();

        for (int i = 0; i < enumerable.Count(); i++)
        {
          
            enumValueList.Add(new EnumValueDto  {

Id =((int)Enum.Parse(typeof (T), enumerable.ElementAt(i).ToString())).ToString(),

Value = enumerable.ElementAt(i).ToString() });
      

}

        return enumValueList;
    }

Hope this will be helpful.

Happy Coding !!!!!
