C#

public enum States
   {
      

       [Description("New Mexico")]
       NewMexico = 1,

       [Description("New York")]
       NewYork = 2,

       [Description("South Carolina")]
       SouthCarolina = 3
   }

I am able to bind this but in value and in text only text is showing.
So i have to bind text and value both but text should contain space like "New Mexico"

C#

public static List<ListItem> LoadListForListControls<T>()
        {
            var type = typeof(T);
            var list = new List<ListItem>();
            foreach (var value in Enum.GetValues(type))
            {
                var enumValue = (Int32)value;
                var fi = value.GetType().GetField(value.ToString());
                var customAttributes =
                            fi.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(DescriptionAttribute), false);
                DescriptionAttribute attribute = null;
                if (customAttributes.Length > 0)
                    attribute = (DescriptionAttribute)customAttributes[0];
                var item = new ListItem
                {
                    Text = attribute != null
                               ? attribute.Description
                               : Enum.GetName(type, enumValue),
                    Value = (Convert.ToInt32(enumValue)).ToString()
                };

                list.Add(item);
            }

            return list;
        }
