c# Enum. Get number value like string

Question

I have enum:

public enum AlertSubject
    {
        TouristVisa = 1,
        CarDamagene = 2,
        RentalForceClose = 3,
        CarAccident = 4
    }

how to get key like a string? I mean "1" for AlertSubject.TouristVisa

Enums in C# are essentially aliases for numbers, which means you can pass them anywhere an `int` is expected or cast them to an `int` — Panagiotis Kanavos, Jun 25 '20 at 14:30

You can use corresponding string format:

var s = AlertSubject.TouristVisa.ToString("d");

D or d. Displays the enumeration entry as an integer value in the shortest representation possible.
