Index the value of an Enum, not the string

Question

Is it possible to index the value of an Enum instead of its string representation using Solrnet?

Say I have to following enum:

[Serializable]
[Flags] 
pu         


        

Answer 1

Try this:

[SolrField("gender")]
public int GenderAsInt
{
    get { return (int) Gender; }
    set { Gender = (Gender) value; }
}

public virtual Gender Gender { get; set; }

Also note that declaring your enum as [Flags] doesn't make much sense:

• There will hardly be anyone both Male and Female
• Male will be interpreted as the default in respect to the current values of enum fields
