Based on http://stackoverflow.com/a/31839145/107625

It didn't work correctly with an enum like:

        [Flags]
        public enum Test1
        {
            [Description("Letter-A")] A = 0x00, // Special case: Zero, no flags.
            [Description("Letter-B")] B = 0x01,
            [Description("Letter-C")] C = 0x02,
            [Description("Letter-D")] D = 0x04,
            [Description("Letter-E")] E = 0x08
        }

My below solution (hopefully!) corrects the above false behaviour.

Be aware that this _only_ works for enums with [Flags] attribute. It does _not_ work for enums without
the [Flags] attribute.

Some unit tests:

        [Flags]
        public enum Test1
        {
            [D("Letter-A")] A = 0x00, // Special case: Zero, no flags.
            [D("Letter-B")] B = 0x01,
            [D("Letter-C")] C = 0x02,
            [D("Letter-D")] D = 0x04,
            [D("Letter-E")] E = 0x08
        }

        public enum Test2
        {
            [D("Letter-A")] A,
            [D("Letter-B")] B,
            [D("Letter-C")] C,
            [D("Letter-D")] D,
            [D("Letter-E")] E
        }

        [Test]
		public void TestEnum1()
        {
            const Test1 t1 = Test1.A;
            const Test1 t2 = Test1.B;
            const Test1 t3 = Test1.B | Test1.C;

            var d1 = StringHelper.GetEnumDescription(t1);
            var d2 = StringHelper.GetEnumDescription(t2);
            var d3 = StringHelper.GetEnumDescription(t3);

            Assert.AreEqual(d1, "Letter-A");
            Assert.AreEqual(d2, "Letter-B");
            Assert.AreEqual(d3, "Letter-B, Letter-C");
		}

        [Test]
		public void TestEnum2()
        {
            const Test2 t1 = Test2.A;
            const Test2 t2 = Test2.B;
            const Test2 t3 = Test2.C;

            var d1 = StringHelper.GetEnumDescription(t1);
            var d2 = StringHelper.GetEnumDescription(t2);
            var d3 = StringHelper.GetEnumDescription(t3);

            Assert.AreEqual(d1, "Letter-A");
            Assert.AreEqual(d2, "Letter-B");
            Assert.AreEqual(d3, "Letter-C");
		}
