enum in c# with string value code example

Example 1: c# string enum

public class LogCategory
{
    private LogCategory(string value) { Value = value; }

    public string Value { get; set; }

    public static LogCategory Trace   { get { return new LogCategory("Trace"); } }
    public static LogCategory Debug   { get { return new LogCategory("Debug"); } }
    public static LogCategory Info    { get { return new LogCategory("Info"); } }
    public static LogCategory Warning { get { return new LogCategory("Warning"); } }
    public static LogCategory Error   { get { return new LogCategory("Error"); } }
}

Example 2: c# string enum

public static class Status
{
    public const string Awesome = "Awesome";
    public const string Cool = "Cool";
}
//Not an enum but has a similar effect without needing to convert ints
