I am getting my enum value like so:

location = Enum.GetName(typeof(Locations), (Locations)record.Friday);

And here is my enum:

    public enum Locations
    {
        [Display(Name = "Unspecified")]
        Unspecified = 0,
        [Display(Name = "Sick Leave")]
        sick = 1,
        [Display(Name = "On Holiday")]
        hol = 2
    }

Currently I am getting back hol instead of On Holiday

Doesn't work. GetDisplayName doesn't show in intelisense – Dppal May 18 '18 at 14:26
