Question 1: I am playing around with EF4 and I have a model class like :

public class Candidate {

public int Id {get;set;}
public string FullName {get;set;}
public Gender Sex {get;set;}
public EducationLevel HighestDegreeType {get;set;}
}

Here Gender and EducationLevel are Enums like:

public enum Gender {Male,Female,Undisclosed}
public enum EducationLevel {HighSchool,Bachelors,Masters,Doctorate}

How do I get the Candidate Class and Gender and EducationLevel working with EF4 if:

• I do model first development
• I do db first development

Edit: Moved question related to object context to another question here.
