Just trying to confirm an impression: it seems enums in EF5 + Code First

Just trying to confirm an impression: it seems enums in EF5 + Code First are only supported when declared within the same namespace as the classes using them as property types.

Can anyone confirm that? Couldn’t find anything on the web for this…

    A relevant bug that was fixed earlier. 4.3 Beta 1 release notes say:

    Bug fix for GetDatabaseValues. In earlier releases this method would
    fail if your entity classes and context were in different namespaces.
    This issue is now fixed and the classes don’t need to be in the same
    namespace to use GetDatabaseValues.

    My guess is that GetDatabaseValues function is still buggy for this occasion (but that’s just an educated guess). You may want to report this here: ADO.NET team blog: EF5 Beta 1 Available
