Answer 4

If what the enumeration text displays knows (and uses) the System.ComponentModel namespace, then you can decorate the enumeration with the System.ComponentModel.DescriptionAttribute attribute and enter the bottom registration line.

If you directly get the string value, you can still do it, although the overhead of creating the reflection code may be more than you want to deal with.
