Method extensions and Useful Enum Method Extension

In many of the projects, there is a requirement to get the string values from the enum definition.
One attribute that can be used off-the-shelf is [Flags] attribute. But this attribute gives only the string representation of the enum variable, which means you cannot have spaces or long strings.

So to overcome this, one can write a handy enum extension for this.
Consider the following enum,

internal enum XlColumnHeaders
    {       
        [StringValue("Section")]
        xlSection = 1,

        [StringValue("Question Text")]
        xlQuestionText = 2,

        [StringValue("Free Text")]
        xlFreeText = 3,

        [StringValue("Yes No")]
        xlYesNo = 4,               
    }
Now whenever I wish to get a string representation of xlSection, I should get "Section". Similarly, for xlQuestionText I should get "Question Text" [Note: the space between the 2 words].

To achieve the above result, Create a static class with a public static method as follows.
static class StringEnum
    {
        public static string GetStringValue(this Enum value)
        {
            // Get the type
            Type type = value.GetType();

            // Get fieldinfo for this type
            FieldInfo fieldInfo = type.GetField(value.ToString());

            // Get the stringvalue attributes
            StringValueAttribute[] attribs = fieldInfo.GetCustomAttributes(
                typeof(StringValueAttribute), false) as StringValueAttribute[];

            // Return the first if there was a match.
            return attribs.Length > 0 ? attribs[0].StringValue : null;
        }
    }

Usage:
XlColumnHeaders temp = new XlColumnHeaders();
temp = XlColumnHeaders.xlQuestionText;
temp.GetStringValue();             // this would return "Question Text"

Hope this post is helpful.
