Agreed, the lack of enum support drives me nuts. Hell I wrote an ORM in the .Net 1.1 days that had it. Still I'm glad they've released this, more "out of band"

Agreed, the lack of enum support drives me nuts. Hell I wrote an ORM in the .Net 1.1 days that had it. Still I'm glad they've released this, more "out of band" releases from Microsoft are a good thing. When frameworks and features aren't tied to Visual Studio releases mean the individual teams can iterate a lot quicker (the MVC and Silverlight teams are good examples).
