How can I retrieve the name of a enumeration as string? I know you can get the integral value, but this is not what I would like.

I searched the www but it didn't show any good samples.

I made a example class to proper show what I require.

Class test Public Property PipeEndTreatment As PipeEndTreatmentEnum Public Enum PipeEndTreatmentEnum SetOn SetIn Offset OffsetFlush End Enum Private Sub TestEnumNameValue() PipeEndTreatment = PipeEndTreatmentEnum.SetOn Dim StringValue As String StringValue = "SetOn" ' This value needs to be generated from the PipeEndTreatment property End Sub End Class

Just use ToString(), e.g. PipeEndTreatmentEnum.SetOn.ToString().

Here's another way in case you like longer ways:

[Enum].GetName(PipeEndTreatmentEnum.SetOn.GetType(), PipeEndTreatmentEnum.SetOn)
