Enumeration serialization

[Paul Davies]

Hi All,

Not sure where the best group to post this is, if you can suggest another
please do.

C# framework 1.1

I have an enumertaion that needs to serialized into a command that is fired
at an API. In our staging environment this works fine, however on the move
to live instead of serialzing the value it produces the integer equivalent
e.g

public enum statusvalue
{
NotSet,
Initialising,
Success,
Fail,
Error
}

on staging if we set the value to statusvalue.Success, it is serialized as
"Success", on live it is "2"

Both live and staging use the same framework, although staging os is Windows
2000 sp 4 and live is server 2003.

Not seen an issue like this before, so any help much appreciated.

1. How are you serializing it?
2. There could be some version (of the enum) incompatibility somewhere.
