Enum Description attribute in dotnet core

For 1.0 and 1.1, DescriptionAttribute is now in the System.ComponentModel.Primitives NuGet package.

I had to modify @yaniv's answer to use the DescriptionAttribute type and get the Description field.

public static class EnumExtensions
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Get the Description from the DescriptionAttribute.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="enumValue"></param>
    /// <returns></returns>
    public static string GetDescription(this Enum enumValue)
    {
        return enumValue.GetType()
                   .GetMember(enumValue.ToString())
                   .First()
                   .GetCustomAttribute<DescriptionAttribute>()?
                   .Description ?? string.Empty;
    }
}

I used this for my Net Framework implementation:

public static class EnumerationExtension
{
    public static string Description( this Enum value )
    {
        // get attributes  
        var field = value.GetType().GetField( value.ToString() );
        var attributes = field.GetCustomAttributes( typeof( DescriptionAttribute ), false );

        // return description
        return attributes.Any() ? ( (DescriptionAttribute)attributes.ElementAt( 0 ) ).Description : "Description Not Found";
    }
}

This doesn't work for NetCore so I modified it to do this:

public static class EnumerationExtension
{
    public static string Description( this Enum value )
    {
        // get attributes  
        var field = value.GetType().GetField( value.ToString() );
        var attributes = field.GetCustomAttributes( false );

        // Description is in a hidden Attribute class called DisplayAttribute
        // Not to be confused with DisplayNameAttribute
        dynamic displayAttribute = null;

        if (attributes.Any())
        {
            displayAttribute = attributes.ElementAt( 0 );
        }

        // return description
        return displayAttribute?.Description ?? "Description Not Found";
    }
}

Enumeration Example:

public enum ExportTypes
{
    [Display( Name = "csv", Description = "text/csv" )]
    CSV = 0
}

Sample Usage for either static added:

var myDescription = myEnum.Description();
