Want the name of an Enum?

I needed the name of my enum value yesterday.  How the heck do you get that?  I used the Enum.GetName() static method.  The specific call I did was:

Enum.GetName( typeof(enumname), enumname.value ) 

If there are any other options for doing this, suggestions are always welcome.

Update: A bunch of people have suggested that I use Enum.Value.ToString()
