Description

Description
aspnetcore server generation does not generate valid c# for enums with string values. eg

"enrollmentStatus":{  
               "type": "string",
			   "enum": [
					"NotEnrolled",
					"Enrolled",
					"PendingEligibilityRequirements"					
				  ]
            } 

After running generate command the resultant code:

    public enum EnrollmentStatusEnum
    { 
        /// <summary>
        /// Enum NotEnrolledEnum for NotEnrolled
        /// </summary>
        [EnumMember(Value = NotEnrolled)]
        NotEnrolledEnum = 1,
        
        /// <summary>
        /// Enum EnrolledEnum for Enrolled
        /// </summary>
        [EnumMember(Value = Enrolled)]
        EnrolledEnum = 2,
        
        /// <summary>
        /// Enum PendingEligibilityRequirementsEnum for PendingEligibilityRequirements
        /// </summary>
        [EnumMember(Value = PendingEligibilityRequirements)]
        PendingEligibilityRequirementsEnum = 3
    }

compiler error: error CS0103: The name 'NotEnrolled' does not exist in the current context [%out_folder%\src\IO.Swagger\IO.Swagger.csproj]

Expected result:
[EnumMember(Value = "NotEnrolled")]
NotEnrolledEnum = 1,
