Hi,

I would like to use the Display Attribute to apply localized names to my enum value. Could you please tell me how I can do this using the AZ localization framework.

Thank you

Hi,

I am not really sure how that post will help me with my current issue. I need to present the localized value of an enum on a modal form. The code I have is as follows:

public enum ProcessingType
    {
        [Display(Name = "Standard")]
        Standard = 1,
        [Display(Name = "Off cycle")]
        OffCycle = 2,
        [Display(Name = "End of year")]
        EndOfYear = 3
    }

public class HeadlineTaskDto
{
        ...
        public ProcessingType ProcessingType { get; set; }
       ...
}

public static class EnumExtensions
    {
        public static string GetDisplayName(this Enum enumValue)
        {
            return enumValue.GetType()
                            .GetMember(enumValue.ToString())
                            .First()
                            .GetCustomAttribute<DisplayAttribute>()
                            .GetName();
        }
    }

...
<div class="col-md-3">
        <div class="form-group form-md-line-input form-md-floating-label">
             <div class="form-control form-control-static">@Model.Task.ProcessingType.GetDisplayName()</div>
                <label>Type</label>
        </div>
</div>
...

I'm not sure how a client side constant would help me here?

Hi,

The approach on the forum topic I have sent is for using localized enum values with javascript on the client side.

In your approach, you can try to use

LocalizationHelper.GetString("SourceName", "Standart")
