HasFlag would be very useful. Thanks.

One more reason to stay away from Entity Framework. Since starting on a project using Entity Framework I have lost countless hours coming up with 'work arounds' for crap like this. My team was more efficient 10 years ago using DAO and dtos than they have been with this year using Entity Framework.

Hi, I have a doubt...EF 5 includes support for enums, but it seems to fail when it comes to a class having a property List<Enum>, it just dosen't take that list property when creating the DB...any tip on that??

Thanks.

"Meanwhile there has been 4.2, 4.3 and 4.3.1 -- all without enum support." ... And now 4.4, again without enums.

"[..] to add enums support to EF, we are happy to say that we plan to do it in the next version after 4.1."

Meanwhile there has been 4.2, 4.3 and 4.3.1 -- all without enum support. You better not tell us your plans at all if plans just keep plans.

1. Using VB.NET I get "Error conversion from <enum item name> to 'integer' is not valid."

2. In the context class, does the type x using an enum in modelbuilder.Entity(Of x) must have a DbSet(Of x) entry?

3. Please publish a complete sample/how to guide of

- a multi-layered object graph using enums and events

- which is hosted in OData service as a singleton (!), supporting both XML/JSON

- for which EF is used to create the DB

- whose properties have different scopes for getter and setter

Do I have to reconstruct event handlers using AddHandler and delegates after reading from the DB?

4. What is the best place to implement Open/Save on the DB? I suppose it is in the constructor and dispose of the WCF service class.

I currently try to do this yet the info is scattered over hundreds of blogs and sometimes dating back to 2009. So I am not sure what is still valid, given the frequent CTPs of WCF/OData/REST, EF, Asnyc , ....

thank you very much! EF code first and OData and windows phone is a dream come true!

There is no annotation attribute for Enumerations?

For example: EF creates a lookup table for all public enums per default. This can be disabled by an <Ignore()> attribute.
