        {
            [Display(Name = "Monday")]
            MON,

            TUE,

            [Display(Name = "Wednesday")]

            SAT,

            [Display(Name = "Sunday")]
            SUN
        }

Dropdown with pre-selected value

MondayTuesdayWednesdayThursdayFridaySaturdaySunday

    
            <select-enum enum-type="typeof(WeekDays)"
                         name="weekDay"
                         selected-value="(int)WeekDays.FRI">
            </select-enum>

Dropdown with localized display names

Select culture:
MondayTuesdayWednesdayThursdayFridaySaturdaySunday

    
            @using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Localization
            @inject IViewLocalizer Localizer

            <select-enum enum-type="typeof(WeekDays)"
                         name="weekDay"
                         selected-value="(int)WeekDays.FRI">
            </select-enum>
        

or if you are using a shred resources culture localizer the delegate can be like follow:

    
            <select-enum enum-type="typeof(WeekDays)"
                         name="weekDay"
                         selected-value="(int)WeekDays.FRI">
            </select-enum>
