Ok, so I have an enum from which I make a select list. After I save data, on view it display the value (number) and I want to see the text. How do I do that?

public enum IsolationType
{
Mechanical = 1,
Electrical = 2
}

class="form-control border-warning" style="font-size:12px" asp-for="ICContent.IsoType" asp-items="Html.GetEnumSelectList()">
"">Isolation Type

class="form-control" style="font-size:12px;">@Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.IsoType)

Hello Marius,
I have updated the repositor for List functionality. It works. Many thanks.

@foreach (var item in Model.Person) {
        <tr>
            <td>
                @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Name)
            td>
            <td>
                @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.IsoType)
            td>
            <td>
                <a asp-page="./Edit" asp-route-id="@item.Id">Edita> |
                <a asp-page="./Details" asp-route-id="@item.Id">Detailsa> |
                <a asp-page="./Delete" asp-route-id="@item.Id">Deletea>
            td>

Hi, thank you for your reply. I know this work, putting the Enum data in a dropdown is not an issue. My problem is that when I save the data, the table is seeded with the value (number) and not the text and when I Get data I see a number while I want to see a text
