Question

I have the following enum:

public enum ReferenceKey {
    MenuType             = 1,
    ReferenceStatus      = 2,
    ContentType          = 3
}

Is there a way that I can list this data as an IEnumerable with
two fields. The first field for the number and the second for the
string with a space between the first and second word as in:

1  "Menu Type"
2  "Reference Status"
3  "Content Type"

Why Not

Solution 2: An Array as you wanted

IEnumerable<ReferenceKey> v = 
                       Enum.GetValues(typeof(ReferenceKey)).Cast<ReferenceKey>();

string[] result = 
                  v.Select(x => (int)x + " \"" + x.ToString() + " \"").ToArray();

See it working

Solution 2: A Dictionary<int, string>

string[] str = Enum.GetNames(typeof(ReferenceKey));

Dictionary<int, string> lst = new Dictionary<int, string>(); 

for (int i = 0; i < str.Length; i++)
    lst.Add((int)(ReferenceKey)Enum.Parse(typeof(ReferenceKey), str[i]), str[i]);

Solution 3: Another way of creating an Dictionary<int, string>

Array v = Enum.GetValues(typeof(ReferenceKey));

Dictionary<int, string> lst = v.Cast<ReferenceKey>()
                               .ToDictionary(x => (int)x, 
                                             x => x.ToString());

Include System.Linq namespace for this
