The simplicity of model binding in the MVC framework makes it a powerful and pleasant framework to send models up and down to views. But a little short coming prevents the usage of enum arrays and raising maintainability in my opinion. MVC 4 cannot convert / materialize enum values to an array when used in a model. To put it correctly, there is no standard type converter for the job.
This issue manifested when I was working on a checkbox list of statuses that could be selected as a filter. This would then be posted as a comma separated parameter value to be set on the model object. Which is finally used in a LINQ query.
