Problem setting Enum text values in Grid

[Erik]

Hello,

I'm trying to show Enum text values in a grid control following the tutorial provided in this site:

https://www.syncfusion.com/kb/9263/how-to-show-enum-text-values-in-grid-columns

But even the grid shows the numeric values. Here's is my code for reference:

View

@using Syncfusion.JavaScript.Shared.Serializer

@using ######################

@{

    DataManagerConverter.Serializer = new DMSerial();

}

@(Html.EJ().Grid<object>("FlatGrid")

                       .Datasource((IEnumerable<object>)ViewBag.datasource)

                       .AllowPaging()    /*Paging Enabled*/

                       .AllowFiltering()

                       .Columns(col =>

                        {

                            col.Field("OrderID").HeaderText("OrderID").IsPrimaryKey(true).Width(75).Add();

                            col.Field("FirstName").HeaderText("FirstName").Width(75).Add();

                            col.Field("LastName").HeaderText("LastName").Width(75).Add();

                            col.Field("Title").HeaderText("Title").Width(110).Add();

                            col.Field("Unit").HeaderText("Unit").Width(75).Add();

                        }))

Controller

using System.Web.Mvc;

using System.Runtime.Serialization;

using Syncfusion.JavaScript.Shared.Serializer;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Web.Script.Serialization;

namespace ################

{

    public class DMSerial : IDataSourceSerializer

    {

        public string Serialize(object obj)

        {

            return Serialize(obj, null);

        }

        public string Serialize(object obj, object settings = null)

        {

            var str = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject(obj);

            return str;

        }

    }

        public class HomeController : BaseController

    {

        public static List<Details> obj = new List<Details>();

        public ActionResult Index()

        {

            var DataSource = GetInversedData();

            ViewBag.datasource = DataSource;

            return View();

        }

        public static List<Details> GetInversedData()

        {

            List<Details> obj = new List<Details>();

            for (var i = 0; i < 1; i++)

            {

                obj.Add(new Details() { OrderID = 10001, FirstName = "Nancy", LastName = "Davolio", Title = "Sales Representative", Unit = UnitOfMeasure.g });

                obj.Add(new Details() { OrderID = 10002, FirstName = "Andrew", LastName = "Fuller", Title = "Vice President, Sales", Unit = UnitOfMeasure.Kg });

                obj.Add(new Details() { OrderID = 10003, FirstName = "Janet", LastName = "Leverling", Title = "Sales Representative", Unit = UnitOfMeasure.l });

                obj.Add(new Details() { OrderID = 10004, FirstName = "Margaret", LastName = "Peacock", Title = "Sales Representative", Unit = UnitOfMeasure.Nr });

                obj.Add(new Details() { OrderID = 10005, FirstName = "Steven", LastName = "Buchanan", Title = "Sales Manager", Unit = UnitOfMeasure.Nr });

                obj.Add(new Details() { OrderID = 10006, FirstName = "Michael", LastName = "Suyama", Title = "Sales Representative", Unit = UnitOfMeasure.g });

                obj.Add(new Details() { OrderID = 10007, FirstName = "Robert", LastName = "King", Title = "Sales Representative", Unit = UnitOfMeasure.Kg });

                obj.Add(new Details() { OrderID = 10008, FirstName = "Laura", LastName = "Callahan", Title = "Inside Sales Coordinator", Unit = UnitOfMeasure.l });

            }

            return obj;

        }

        public class Details

        {

            public int OrderID { get; set; }

            public string FirstName { get; set; }

            public string LastName { get; set; }

            public string Title { get; set; }

            [Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConverter(typeof(Newtonsoft.Json.Converters.StringEnumConverter))]

            public UnitOfMeasure Unit { get; set; }

        }

        public enum UnitOfMeasure

        {

            [EnumMember(Value = "Number")]

            Nr = 0,

            [EnumMember(Value = "Kilogram")]

            Kg = 1,

            [EnumMember(Value = "Gram")]

            g = 2,

            [EnumMember(Value = "Liter")]

            l = 3

        }

    }

}
