I have an enum like this:

public enum MyEnum
{
    people1,
    people2
}

I want to override or overload ToString() method. For example in the following code, variable s becomes "This is people 1".

string s=MyEnum.people1.ToString(); //I want s to become "This is people 1"

I don't want to create another method with extension method, I want to override or overload ToString method.

There are a couple of other ways to do it, such as using attributes in which you place the text that you would. – Complexity May 12 '14 at 07:18
