Question

Does EF 4.2 Code First have support for enum types? If so, how do you use it? The following does not create a field for the enum property when using the Nuget EntityFramework package.

public class FooContext : DbContext
{
    public IDbSet<Foo> Foos { get; set; } 
}

public class Foo
{
   public int Id { get; set; }
   public string Name { get; set; }
   public Category Category { get; set; }
}

public enum Category {One, Two, Three }

var db = new FooContext();
db.Foos.ToList();

EF team has changed versioning so EFv4.2 is not final release of June 2011 CTP. Features from June 2011 CTP should be released as part of .NET Framework 4.5.
