why only the enum description?
dd02bf8b8d/Radzen.Blazor/Extensions.cs (L18-L31)

Please add the folowing code for all the properties of the DisplayAttribute like the Name propertie

    public static string GetDisplay<TKey>(this Enum enumValue, Func<System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.DisplayAttribute, TKey> keySelector, Func<string, string> translationFunction = null)
    {
        var enumValueAsString = enumValue.ToString();
        var val = enumValue.GetType().GetMember(enumValueAsString).FirstOrDefault();
        var attribute = val?.GetCustomAttribute<System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.DisplayAttribute>();

        var enumVal = attribute != null ? keySelector(attribute)?.ToString() ?? enumValueAsString : enumValueAsString;

        if (translationFunction != null)
            return translationFunction(enumVal);

        return enumVal;
    }

now we can do something line myEnum.GetDisplay(a=>a.Name)
