Storing Enums as strings in MongoDB

Question

Is there a way to store Enums as string names rather than ordinal values?

Example:

Imagine I\'ve got this enum:

public enum Gender
{
    Fema         


        

Answer 1

Use MemberSerializationOptionsConvention to define a convention on how an enum will be saved.

new MemberSerializationOptionsConvention(typeof(Gender), new RepresentationSerializationOptions(BsonType.String))
