Flags enum does not bind

[pranavkm]

From the thread at #214 (comment),

In Mvc, for the enum type,

        [Flags]
        private enum MyFlagsEnum
        {
            Value0 = 1,
            Value1 = 2,
            Value2 = 4
        }

• the value 5 will get correctly bound as MyFlagsEnum.Value0 | MyFlagsEnum.Value2. This does not happen in our code.
• The string "Value0" will bind to MyFlagsEnum, but we dont have anything equivalent for flags that is "Value0 | Value1" will not bind.

@pranavkm where does this stand?

Likely to be resolved by support for TypeConverters

@kulmugdha Could please verify if this issue is fixed? Thanks!

No this doesn't seem to be fixed. Talked to @pranavkm , he confirmed that we haven't fixed it.

The string "Value0" will bind to MyFlagsEnum, but we dont have anything equivalent for flags that is "Value0 | Value1" will not bind.

The ToString() equivalent of "Value0 | Value1" is "Value0, Value1" - which binds properly. I have added test cases for the same - #1413
