Either rename the Enum strings as per the display name (not a good idea), or
use a Description attribute for each element, and use reflection to obtain
the description.
Of course neither of those methods is locale independent...

Hi,
This is not exactly what you asked for, but the closest I know of is to
apply an attribute (System.ComponentModel.DescriptionAttribute works well)
to each enum value and use Reflection to retrieve the value, e.g.:
public enum MonetaryUnit
{
[Description("American")]
USDoll
the enum declaration below is simply a c# language construct. but basically an enum
is just a value type that has a bunch of static public fields, the real value of the
each field is based on the underlying type (by default an int32).
so something like this should work:
public class MonetaryUn
Here's how I have done it:
public static string sMonetaryUnit(MonetaryUnit mu)
{
return Enum.Format(typeof(MonetaryUnit), mu, "G");
}
