    [3.2.1] Ext.Net.Mvc Store. Various interpretations enum values

    Hello,

    StoreFor creates model when enum property is interpreted as number but in StoreResult and Store.Data returns enum values as strings.
    Please, unify this.

    View:
    @using Ext.Net;
    @using Ext.Net.MVC;
    
    @model IEnumerable<ExtNetTest.Test.Models.EnumTestModel>
    
    @{
        Layout = null;
        
        var X = Html.X();
    }
    
    <!DOCTYPE html>
    
    <html>
    <head>
        <title>Test</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        @(Html.X().ResourceManager().Theme(Theme.Neptune))
    
        @(X.GridPanel()
            .Title("Using StoreFor(m => m)")
            .Width(300)
            .Height(200)
            .Store(X.StoreFor(m => m))
            .ColumnModel(
                X.Column().DataIndex("EnumValue").Text("Enum Value")
            )
        )
    
        @(X.GridPanel()
            .Title("Using StoreFor<EnumTestModel>(true) and Data property")
            .Width(300)
            .Height(200)
            .Store(X.StoreFor<ExtNetTest.Test.Models.EnumTestModel>(true)
                .Data(Model)
            )
            .ColumnModel(
                X.Column().DataIndex("EnumValue").Text("Enum Value")
            )
        )
    
        @(X.GridPanel()
            .Title("Using StoreFor<EnumTestModel>(true) and Proxy")
            .Width(300)

                    X.AjaxProxy()
                        .Url(@Url.Action("GetDataAction"))
                        .Reader(X.JsonReader().RootProperty("data"))
                )
            )
            .ColumnModel(
                X.Column().DataIndex("EnumValue").Text("Enum Value")
            )
        )
    
        @(X.GridPanel()
            .Title("Using StoreFor(m => m) and Proxy.")

                    X.Button()
                        .Text("Refresh")
                        .Handler("this.up('grid').getStore().load();")
                )
            )
            .Store(X.StoreFor(m => m)
                .AutoLoad(false)
                .Proxy(

    Hi Yury,

    Thank you for pointing it out and especially for a clear test case.

    I agree it would be good to get same results using different data binding approaches. Unfortunately, it didn't happen when all this functionality has been implemented and changing it now would be a breaking change which, personally, I am reluctant to introduce.

    Hi, Daniil.

    Can you suggest how to use StoreFor(m => m) in view and StoreResult in action method together with identical enumeration type?
    Can you add something like Type property to ModelFieldAttribute or ModelAttribute, or add Newtonsoft data converters to StoreResult (this.Store) as a parameter?

    Sorry for the delay in answering.

    A possible solution could be:
    public ActionResult GetDataAction()
    {
        Store store = new Store();
        store.InitByType(typeof(EnumTestModel), true, true);
        Model model = store.Model[0];
    
        return this.Store(GetData(), model);
    }
    It creates a Store in a way that .StoreFor(m => m) does it. Then it passes its Model to deserialize the data according to that Model.
