I want to create a select option in Razor pages from Enum object Description

This is my code:

<div class="dropdown-box"> <select id="type-select"> @foreach (var item in Enums.OrderStatus) { <option>@item</option> } </select> </div>

and the enum:

public enum OrderStatus { [Description("در انتظار تایید")] PendingForAccept = 0, [Description("تمام شده")] Finished = 1, [Description("لغو شده")] Canceled = 2, [Description("رد شده")] Rejected = 3, [Description("تایید شده")] Accepted = 4 }

How can I extract items descriptions of this enum to string

Here's an example of code that does it.

public static string ExtractDescription<T>(T enumVal) where T : struct { var type = enumVal.GetType(); if (!type.IsEnum) { throw new ArgumentException($"{nameof(enumVal)} must be an Enum", nameof(enumVal)); } var memberInfo = type.GetMember(enumVal.ToString()); if (memberInfo.Length > 0) { var attributes = memberInfo[0].GetCustomAttributes(attributeType: typeof(DescriptionAttribute), inherit: false); if (attributes.Length > 0) { return ((DescriptionAttribute)attributes[0]).Description; } } return enumVal.ToString(); }

Usage:

var s = ExtractDescription(OrderStatus.PendingForAccept)// s is "در انتظار تایید"
