Databind with Enum Property

I have a Model with an integer property: IntegratorType, valid values are 0 and 1 for Old and New style integrator.

I added a enum IntegratorTypes with Old and New.:

    public enum IntegratorTypes
    {
        [Description("Old")]
        Old = 0,
        [Description("New")]
        New = 1,
    };


Then a property for the field:

       [Display(Prompt = "Integrator Type", Name ="Integrator Type")]
        public IntegratorTypes IntegratorType
        {
            get => integratorTypeSelect;
            set
            {
                integratorTypeSelect = value;
                RaisePropertyChanged("IntegratorTypeSelect");
            }
        }

When I receive the data from the server, the properties are filled with right values, anyway as soon as I open a new Page with a SfDataForm on it and I bind the object to the form, it automatically changes the value of the field to Old.

Hi Gabriel, 
Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support. 
 
 
We have checked your query. Could you please confirm whether the “PickerItem selected value (New) replaced with First Item(Old) in the Collection of Enum type” in SfDataForm? 
  
It will helpful to provide appropriate solution.

Hello, thanks for your response.

I'm not sure what you want me to check. The element in the SfDataForm is a Picker loaded with right values, anyway it is always loaded with Old value selected, and as it is a TwoWay binding it changes the value of my Model to Old. It just like if the  Element Picked event it is being raised when the collection is loaded and changes my value. It doesn't matter which element I assign value of Zero, it gets picked.

Any ideas?

Gabriel
