How do you map an enum as an int value with fluent NHibernate?

Question

Question says it all really, the default is for it to map as a string but I need it to map as an int.

I\'m currently using Persistenc

You should keep the values as int / tinyint in your DB Table. For mapping your enum you need to specify mapping correctly. Please see below mapping and enum sample,

Mapping Class

public class TransactionMap : ClassMap Transaction
{
    public TransactionMap()
    {
        //Other mappings
        .....
        //Mapping for enum
        Map(x => x.Status, "Status").CustomType();

        Table("Transaction");
    }
}

Enum

public enum TransactionStatus
{
   Waiting = 1,
   Processed = 2,
   RolledBack = 3,
   Blocked = 4,
   Refunded = 5,
   AlreadyProcessed = 6,
}
