Get enum name when value is known

In c# 6 you can use nameof.

nameof(YourEnum.Something)

results in:

something

Another option is to use the GetName static method:

Enum.GetName(typeof(MyEnumClass), n);

This has the benefit that the code speaks for itself. It should be obvious that it returns the name of the enum (which may be a bit difficult to realize when you use for example the ToString method).

return ((MyEnumClass)n).ToString();
