Question

I have seen lots of method to convert a string to an enum using generics but cannot find a neat way to convert an enum to string using generics.

What I mean is Pass an enum and a value and return the mapped name of the enum.

Any suggestions

How about:

enum E
{
    A = 2,
    B = 3
}

public static string GetLiteral<T>(object value)
{
    return Enum.GetName(typeof(T), value);
}

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    Console.WriteLine(GetLiteral<E>(2));
    Console.WriteLine(GetLiteral<E>(3));
}
