Re: Easy way to handle enum

[Marco Franssen]

Why don't you just use integer or byte for saving the enum. If you have less
then 255 enum values you use a byte for saving the integer.
public Enum MyEnum
{
       Value1 = 0,
       Value2 = 1,
       Value3 = 2,       Value4 = 3,
       Value5 = 4
}

You can just cast then your byte values like this

byte enumvalue = Query.Database();
MyEnum currentvalue = (MyEnum) enumvalue;
