I am trying to have the Description of an enum pulled from the resx file, but I get the above error.
Here is my code:
public enum FinalStatus
{
[Description(StringResources.MyStrings.Status_0)]
Error = 0,
[Description(StringResources.MyStrings.Status_1)]
Ok = 1,
[Description(StringResources.MyStrings.Status_5)]
Warning = 2,
[Description(StringResources.MyStrings.Status_4)]
Unknown = 3
}
The error is correct; these values need to be constants. You'll need to change your Status_n
definitions to something more like this:
namespace StringResources{
public class MyStrings{
public const string Status_0 = "0";
public const string Status_1 = "1";
public const string Status_4 = "4";
public const string Status_5 = "5";
}
}
