How to avoid dependencies between Enum values in code and corresponding values in a database?

Question

I have a number of user permissions that are tested throughout my ASP.NET application. These permission values are referenced in an Enum so that I can conveniently test permissions like so: btnCreate.Enabled = PermissionManager.TestPermission(Permission.AllowCreate); However, I also have these permissions stored in the database because I need hold more info about them than just their Id. But this creates a horrible dependency between the enum values and those in the database, an ill considered change to either and I have problems throughout my application. Is there a better way around this issue? Has anyone dealt with this before?

Answer 1

I do not know what the best solution is, I would like to hear that. Our solution is to explicitly type the enum like public enum MyEnum : int { None =0, Value = 1, AnotherValue =2 } And save the integer value to the database. When for instance the Value 1 is removed, you will still be able to use the enumeration and AnotherValue still has the value 2 in the database.
