Obtaining the string value of an enumeration name

A useful trick I've picked up recently is the ability to get the name of a value of an enumeration in C#. Using the following example enumeration:

enum fruit
{
    apples,
    pears,
    oranges
}

The following sample code can be used to pop-up a message box stating what the name of the enumeration value passed in is:

function void WhatIsTheFruitCalled (fruit fruitValue)
{
    string sFruitName = Enum.GetName(typeof(fruit), fruitValue);
    MessageBox.Show(sFruitName);
}

The code could be made generic and more robust by changing it to the following:

function string WhatIsTheFruitCalled2 (fruit fruitValue)
{
    string sFruitName = "";
    if (Enum.IsDefined(typeof(fruit), fruitValue))
    {
        sFruitName = Enum.GetName(typeof(fruit), fruitValue);
    }
    return sFruitName;
}

Of course this code is specific to an enum of fruit, but it's a fairly simple exercise to make this generic as below:

public static string GetEnumValueName(T Value)
{
    if (Value.GetType().IsEnum)
    {
        Type t = Value.GetType();
        if (Enum.IsDefined(t, Value))
        {
            return Enum.GetName(t, Value);
        }
        else
        {
            throw new ArgumentException(string.Format("Value out of range for enumeration of type {0}", t.Name), "Value");
        }
    }
    else
    {
        throw new ArgumentException("Value must be an Enumeration", "Value");
    }
}

The option's there to suppress the exceptions and return empty string instead if that's the desired result, but this is a tidy bit of logic.
