title: How can I map an Enum using Entity Framework 4.1 Fluent API?
body: <p>I've gotten somewhat lost between the sheets of EF... Like the rest of the free world, I really have a need to use Enums in my POCOs. Like many I talk to, I would thoroughly enjoy mapping Enums using code only because, well I just don't like pictures all that much. </p>
  
  <p>My quandary here is that I am getting conflicting information on nearly every article I pull up. It gets even harder sifting out the custom implementations or "extensions" people have published to try and work around the EF shortfall. </p>
  
  <p>The <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/hh394151.aspx" rel="nofollow">EF June CTP</a> announces support for Enums and Spatial Types but it appears that support only comes when using the designer? And also, is the June CTP part of the EF 4.1 Update 1 or still not RTM?</p>
  
  <p>If there's a way to support Enums using the Fluent API, I would be indebted to anyone who can help me out or steer me in the right direction!</p>
  
  <p>Thanks, Jason</p>
