C# Enum GetName Method

The GetName() method returns the names of the constants in the Enumeration.

Here is the enum.

enum Stock { Appliance, Clothing, Footwear };

Now, get the names using the Enum.GetName() method. Just set the constant and retrieve the individual name.

Enum.GetName(typeof(Stock), 1

Let us see the example now.

Example

 Live Demo

using System;
class Demo {
   enum Stock { Appliance, Clothing, Footwear };
   static void Main() {
      Console.WriteLine("The value of second stock category = {0}",Enum.GetName(typeof(Stock), 1));
      Console.WriteLine("The value of third stock category = {0}",Enum.GetName(typeof(Stock), 2));
   }
}

Output

The value of second stock category = Clothing
The value of third stock category = Footwear
