JavaScriptSerializer – JSON serialization of enum as string

I have a class that contains an enum property, and upon serializing the object using JavaScriptSerializer, my json result contains the integer value of the enumeration rather than its string “name”. Is there a way to get the enum as a string in my json without having to create a custom JavaScriptConverter? Perhaps there’s an attribute that I could decorate the enum definition, or object property, with?

How to bind a custom Enum description to a DataGrid

Problem: I have an enumerated type which has description tags in the following style: [URL=”http://xml.indelv.com/data-binding-enum.html”]description tag tutorial[/URL] . I have a Windows SQL Server Database from which I am pulling the data (as integers then castine to Enums) which is then being bound to a datagrid. Instead of pulling and casing the enumerated types, I would like to display the description tag associated with it in the enumerated type.
