custom implementation of IUserType

> here's the situation.   We've got a bunch of fields that are enums,  that
> can be null.  For example:
>
> a user has a gender that is stored in a nullable column (it's a FK to a
> Gender Table) and is represented in the application as an enum like so:
>
> GenderEnum
> NotSpecified
> Male 1
> Female 2
>
> What we would like to do is have it put NULL in the database if it is Not
> Specified.  and If it's NULL in the database have it set the field to
> NotSpecified.
>
> I tried making the enum nullable and setting notSpecified = nothing
>
> but then when i try to use the enum  it doesn't work properly.
>
> we are working with a pre-existing database and code base that we are
> upgrading, and the less code that we have to mangle the better.
>
> any suggestions on the best way to implement this scenario?

> Thanks in Advanced
