Data bind enum properties to grid and display description
- by TrueWill
This is a similar question to How to bind a custom Enum description to a DataGrid, but in my case I have multiple properties.
public enum ExpectationResult
{
[Description("-")]
NoExpectation,
[Description("Passed")]
Pass,
[Description("FAILED")]
Fail
}
public class TestResult
{
public string TestDescription { get; set; }
public ExpectationResult RequiredExpectationResult { get; set; }
public ExpectationResult NonRequiredExpectationResult { get; set; }
}
I'm binding a BindingList<TestResult> to a WinForms DataGridView (actually a DevExpress.XtraGrid.GridControl, but a generic solution would be more widely applicable). I want the descriptions to appear rather than the enum names. How can I accomplish this? (There are no constraints on the class/enum/attributes; I can change them at will.)
