Azure Table Storage, WCF Service and Enum

Question

Here\'s my problem. A class which defines an order has a property called PaymentStatus, which is an enum defined like so:

    public en         


        

Answer 1

Enum is not supported. Even though it is defined like an int, it is really not a integral type supported by Table Storage. Here is the list of types supported. An enum is just a string expression of an integral number with an object-oriented flavor.

You can store int in table storage and then covert it using Enum.Parse.
