Hello,
In VS2003, I tried using an enum and setting it into a field in a
datarow. It seems as if the datatype of the field in the row
determined what went into the field. If the datatype was string, then
the name of the enum item went into the field, but if the datatype was
integer, then the integer value of the enum was stored.
Is this expected behaviour? I couldn't find anything while searching
for answers.
TIA
Barry
