Can you use the same Enum in multiple entities in Linq-to-SQL?
- by Mark
In my persistence layer, I've declared a load of Enums to represent tables containing reference data (i.e. data never changes).
In Linq2SQL, I am able to set the type of an entity property to an enum type and all is well, but as soon as I set a second entity's property to use the same enum type, the Code Generator (MSLinqToSQLGenerator) start generating an empty code file.
I assume that MSLinqToSQLGenerator is quietly crashing. The question is why, and are there any work-arounds? Anyone else experienced this problem?
