try this

C#

public enum ResourceTexts
  {
      [EnumDisplayName(DisplayName = "Next")]
      btnNext,
      [EnumDisplayName(DisplayName = "Previous")]
      btnPrev,
  }

  [System.AttributeUsage(System.AttributeTargets.Field)]
  public class EnumDisplayName : System.Attribute
  {
      public string DisplayName { get; set; }

  }
  public static class MyExtension
  {
      public static string GetDisplayName(this Enum enumValue)
      {
          return ((EnumDisplayName)enumValue.GetType().GetMembers().First(k => k.Name == enumValue.ToString()).GetCustomAttributes(typeof(EnumDisplayName), true)[0]).DisplayName;
      }
  }

HTML

Text="<%# ResourceTexts.btnNext.GetDisplayName() %>"
