Question

I have a “little” problem with ASP.NET MVC 3 and enum:

My Person Model:

namespace AcTIV.Models
{
    public enum Sex { Male, Female };

    public class Person
    {
        public int PersonID { get; set; }
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public Sex Sexo { get; set; }
    }
}

My Initializer:

namespace AcTIV.DAL
{
    public class AcTIVInitializer : DropCreateDatabaseAlways<AcTIVContext>
    {
        protected override void Seed(AcTIVContext context)
        {    
            var persons = new List<Person>
            {
                new Person { Name = "Mary Lee", Sexo = Sex.Female }
            };
            persons.ForEach(s => context.Persons.Add(s));
            context.SaveChanges();
        }
    }
}

So far, so good. My Watch displays the correct values.

persons[0].Name = "Mary Lee"  
persons[0].Sexo = Female  

Now, my Person Controller:

namespace AcTIV.Controllers
{
    public class PersonController : Controller
    {
        private UnitOfWork unitOfWork = new UnitOfWork();

        public ViewResult Index()
        {
            Person person = unitOfWork.PersonRepository.GetByID(1); //Just for test
            //return View(unitOfWork.PersonRepository.Get().ToList());
        }
    }
}

Here my Watch displays the wrong enum value:

person.Name = "Mary Lee"  
person.Sexo = Male  

What am I doing wrong?

The Answer is on another stackoverflow post:
How is interpreted an enum type with EF Code First

Answer 1

Are you using EF4.3? I believe enum support is only available in EF5
