I have a numeric field that is the STATUS (Active or Passive) in my Customer record.

I have made the following Enum definition

public enum StatusType
{
Aktiv = 0,
Passiv = 1
}

When using the ComboBox compononent everything is working ok.

In step two I would like to set the "Custom Data Type" in the BOM to the "StatusType" definition. Adding the datatype seems to go fine and the IDE is working correctly when adding a default value

this.tr_status = StatusType.Aktiv;

When I run the application - open the maintainance form for the CustomerBO, I receive the following error

"InvalidCastException: Specified cast is not valid"

>>>>  return (mbs2.Business.StatusType)this.CurrentRow["tr_status"];

Can someone explain me what might be wrong here, thanks!

I need to mention that when I search for the Class Type in the BOM I receive an error saying that it "Could not gather enums for Strataframe Inherited UI" and then it fails on "DevExpress.xxxxxx.v8.1".

I have v7.1 installed!!!!
