I know the following is not possible because it has to be an int
enum GroupTypes
{
    TheGroup = "OEM",
    TheOtherGroup = "CMB"
}
From my database I get a field with incomprehensive codes (the OEM and CMB's). I would want to make this field into an enum or something else understandable. Because the target is readability the solution should be terse.
What other options do I have?
