Hi everyone, I have been using EF a lot recently. I typically go DB first because it's just what I'm comfortable with.

I feel pretty comfortable with most of the features but I'm still a bit unsure of how to properly use Enums.

Example schema:

Ticket

Column	Type	Constraint
Id	Guid	PRIMARY KEY
Description	NVARCHAR(250)
StatusId	INT	FOREIGN KEY REFERENCES [Status](Id)

Status

Column	Type	Constraint
Id	INT	PRIMARY KEY
Name	NVARCHAR(50)

Status has three records, 1:Submitted, 2:Accepted, and 3:Complete

Can EF map those values to an Enum somehow? I see the "Convert to Enum" when I right click the "StatusId" property but I'm not certain how that works out for mapping Enum values to DB values.

Am I supposed to not import the reference/lookup table and just ensure that my seeds stay synced up properly?
