EF 4.1 Code First - map enum wrapper as complex type

Question

I\'m trying to build a generic solution to the problem of enums with EF 4.1. My solution is basically a generic version of How to fake enums in ef 4. The enum wrapper class

Answer 1

based on Henrik Stenbæk answer. assigning is working fine

category.ChildSortType = CategorySort.AlphabeticOrder

but comparing the wrapper to its enum doesn't work.

if(category.ChildSortType == CategorySort.AlphabeticOrder)
{

}

the following operator should be added to the abstract class

public static implicit operator TEnum(EnumWrapper w)
        {
            if (w == null)
                return default(TEnum);
            else
                return w.EnumVal;
        }
