Show friendly enumeration item names

[JornWildt]

I have a booking state enumeration BookingStateType and use this for a DataModel:

[Display(Name = "Bookingstatus")]
[SelectList(typeof(BookingStateType))]
public BookingStateType BookingState { get; set; }

Now I would like the booking state to show up as a friendly name in the admin system, so I add Description attributes to it (in Danish) :

public enum BookingStateType { 
  [Description("Forespørgsel")]
  Requested,

  [Description("Bekræftet")]
  Confirmed,

  [Description("Aflyst")]
  Cancelled
}

Unfortunately the admin section still shows the code names "Requested" etc. in the selected-list.

Please look for Description attributes and their values when showing select lists (and other UI forms).

I'm sure we can add that. For now you should be able to use IListOptionSource to generate the options with a bit more manual effort.

Fixed, will be release in v0.10
