How do I use my enumeration in a LinqToSQL query?

Question

I have a field in my database table that use to store an enumeration value, e.g.:

create table MyTable (
  ...
  Status tinyint not null,
  ...
)

Don't have a compiler handy, but I think if you cast your enum to an int, it will work. So try:

var q = MyDataContext.GetTable().Where(t => t.MyStatus == (int)TStatus.Active);
