In C#, you can convert an enum value to its string representation using the ToString() method. If you want to convert a list of enum values to their string representations, you can use methods like Select from LINQ. Here's how you can do it:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;

public enum DaysOfWeek
{
    Sunday,
    Monday,
    Tuesday,
    Wednesday,
    Thursday,
    Friday,
    Saturday
}

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        List<DaysOfWeek> daysList = new List<DaysOfWeek>
        {
            DaysOfWeek.Monday,
            DaysOfWeek.Wednesday,
            DaysOfWeek.Friday
        };

        List<string> daysAsStringList = daysList.Select(d => d.ToString()).ToList();

        Console.WriteLine("Enum values as strings:");
        foreach (var dayString in daysAsStringList)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(dayString);
        }
    }
}
