Store enum as string in database

Question

I am experimenting with dapper. I have a class which has an enum and the values are stored as strings in the database.

This works with FluentNHibernate using GenericEnum

Answer 1

Another solution could be to use the new ITypeMap extensability although it is still a bit verbose to implement.
