I'm trying to convert a property to enum via EF Designer. I followed the steps described in: 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/jj248772.aspx

When I do it in my project, I receive the following error when I save the model:
Error 3 Running transformation: System.ArgumentException: typeUsage

Just to certify, I've created a new project without DevForce (just EF5) and executed the same steps. It worked perfectly.

Am I missing something?

Thanks.

No, you're not missing anything.  We don't support enums in DF2012 just yet.

Unfortunately we won't have enum support in the RTW, but should before the end of this year.

Hello,

Do you have any news about "Enum support"?

Enums are supported in the current bits we're now testing.  We don't yet have a release date, but it should be later this month.

Today I updated DevForce to 7.0.3 and now, I will enjoy Enum Support :)
