Body
I found this way of doing it and it works, it just isn't the Enum directly. You have to create a facade class that can implicitly be mapped back and forth. It works, but not as smooth as I would have liked. <a href="http://daniel.wertheim.se/2010/06/09/dealing-with-enumerations-and-entity-framework-4-code-first/" rel="nofollow">http://daniel.wertheim.se/2010/06/09/dealing-with-enumerations-and-entity-framework-4-code-first/</a> <pre><code>public enum InterestTypes { [Description("Attraction - for sightseers and adventurers.")] Attraction = 1, [Description("Event - fun for everyone (limited time).")] Event = 2, [Description("Recreation - parks, hiking, movies...")] Recreation = 3, [Description("Restaurant - good eats.")] Restaurant = 4 } public class InterestType { private InterestType() : this(default(InterestTypes)) { } public InterestType(int value) { Value = value; } public InterestType(InterestTypes type) { Value = (int) type; } public int Value { get; private set; } public static implicit operator int(InterestType type) { return type.Value; } public static implicit operator InterestType(int value) { return new InterestType(value); } public static implicit operator InterestTypes(InterestType type) { return (InterestTypes) type.Value; } public static implicit operator InterestType(InterestTypes type) { return new InterestType(type); } } </code></pre> In your DataContext you need the following in your OnModelCreating method. <pre><code> protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder) { modelBuilder.ComplexType<InterestType>() .Property(o => o.Value) .HasColumnName("Type"); } </code></pre> This tells Entity Framework to map the int value to the value in the database. I guess you could also use strings if you wanted to store the values as strings in the database.

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
