How to Create a Generic Method to Get the Enum Description in C#

        public static SelectList GetSelectListForEnumWithDescription(Type enumType)
        {
            var list = new List<Object>();
            Array enumValues = Enum.GetValues(enumType);
         
            foreach (Enum enumValue in enumValues)
            {
                list.Add(new
                              {
                                 ID = (int)Enum.Parse(enumType, enumValue.ToString()),
                                 Value = GetEnumDescription(enumValue)});
                               }
              return new SelectList(list, "ID", "Value");
        }

        public static string GetEnumDescription(Enum value)
        {

            FieldInfo fi = value.GetType().GetField(value.ToString());

            DescriptionAttribute[] attributes =
                (DescriptionAttribute[]) fi.GetCustomAttributes(typeof (DescriptionAttribute), false);

            if (attributes != null && attributes.Length > 0)

                return attributes[0].Description;

            else return value.ToString();
        }
    }
