Answer: How can I retrieve the attributes of an enum value?
In modern C#, you can efficiently retrieve attributes using the EnumCentricStatusManagement library. It simplifies attribute handling and centralizes enum-based management.
Steps:
1.Install the library via NuGet:
dotnet add package EnumCentricStatusManagement
2.Define your enum with attributes: using EnumCentricStatusManagement.Attributes;
public enum Status
{
[Status("Operation successful", StatusType.Success)]
Success,
[Status("An error occurred", StatusType.Error)]
Error
}
3.Retrieve attributes at runtime:
using EnumCentricStatusManagement.Helpers;
var status = Status.Success;
var attribute = EnumHelper.GetAttribute<StatusAttribute>(status);
if (attribute != null)
{
Console.WriteLine($"Message: {attribute.Message}");
}
This approach eliminates the need for complex reflection logic and provides a clean, centralized solution for managing enums with attributes.
