Answer 1

Using MVC5 you could use:

public enum UserPromotion
{
   None = 0x0,

   [Display(Name = "Send Job Offers By Mail")]
   SendJobOffersByMail = 0x1,

   [Display(Name = "Send Job Offers By Sms")]
   SendJobOffersBySms = 0x2,

   [Display(Name = "Send Other Stuff By Sms")]
   SendPromotionalBySms = 0x4,

   [Display(Name = "Send Other Stuff By Mail")]
   SendPromotionalByMail = 0x8
}

then if you want to create a dropdown selector you can use:

@Html.EnumDropdownListFor(expression: model => model.PromotionSelector, optionLabel: "Select")
