How can I make it so that my context objects uses the Enum feature in Entity Framework 5.0 if I am using Database First.

Go to the model browser and create a new enum type, then go to whatever column you wish to use it on and change its type to the enum that you just created.

    In v6 (not sure about v5) you can also just right-click the column and hit "Convert to Enum" which will then take you to the enum creation dialog – Alex Nov 13 '13 at 11:27
