Looking for simplier or shorter way to convert enum description attributes to a list

[jmcilhinney]

The code is not necessarily shorter overall but check out these classes I created for this purpose:

In your case, the code would be:

var model = new EnumDescriptorCollection<CaseParty.PRIORITY_TYPE>().Select(ed => ed.ToString()).ToList();

That said, you could already be using this:

var model = Enum.GetValues(typeof(CaseParty.PRIORITY_TYPE))
                .Cast<CaseParty.PRIORITY_TYPE>()
                .Select(pt => pt.ToDescriptionString())
                .ToList();
