pvNugsEnumConvNc9

A .NET utility library that provides enhanced enum conversion capabilities, focusing on Description attribute-based conversions and flexible matching strategies.

Features

  • Extract codes from enum Description attributes
  • Convert string codes back to enum values
  • Support for multiple codes per enum value (comma-separated in Description)
  • Case-insensitive matching by default
  • Custom matching strategy support
  • Default value fallback support

Installation

Install the package via NuGet:

shell
dotnet add package pvNugsEnumConvNc9

Usage

Basic Usage

csharp
// Define an enum with Description attributes
public enum Status
{
[Description("A")]
Active,

    [Description("I")]
    Inactive,
    
    [Description("P,PEND")]  // Multiple codes
    Pending
}

// Get code from enum value
string code = Status.Active.GetCode();  // Returns "A"

// Convert code back to enum
Status status = EnumConvert.GetValue<Status>("A", Status.Inactive);  // Returns Status.Active

Multiple Codes Support

The library supports multiple codes in the Description attribute, separated by commas. The first code is considered the primary code:

csharp
Status pending = EnumConvert.GetValue<Status>("PEND", Status.Active);  // Returns Status.Pending

Custom Matching

You can provide your own matching strategy:

csharp
bool CustomMatcher(string x, string y) => x.StartsWith(y);
Status status = EnumConvert.GetValue("PEN", Status.Active, CustomMatcher);  // Returns Status.Pending

Error Handling

  • ArgumentNullException: Thrown when the provided code is null or empty
  • ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Thrown when:
    • No matching enum value is found for the provided code
    • An enum value lacks a Description attribute

Requirements

  • .NET 9.0 or higher
  • C# 13.0 or higher
