The ForEnumValues method retrieves an array of DisplayInfo objects for each value of a specified enumeration type. This method is useful for obtaining metadata about each enum value, such as its name, description, and other attributes that may be associated with it.
To use the ForEnumValues method, pass the Type of the enumeration you want to retrieve information for. The method will return an array of DisplayInfo objects, each corresponding to a value in the enumeration.
Ensure that the type passed is indeed an enumeration type, as passing a non-enum type will not yield meaningful results.
// Example usage of DisplayInfo.ForEnumValues
// Define an example enum
public enum ExampleEnum
{
FirstValue,
SecondValue,
ThirdValue
}
// Retrieve DisplayInfo for each enum value
DisplayInfo[] enumDisplayInfos = DisplayInfo.ForEnumValues(typeof(ExampleEnum));
// Iterate through the DisplayInfo array
foreach (var displayInfo in enumDisplayInfos)
{
Console.WriteLine($"Name: {displayInfo.Name}, Description: {displayInfo.Description}");
}
