Question: I've enums as flags like:

```
[Flags]
public enum ResultValues
{
    None = 0,
    Red = 1,
    Yellow = 2,
    Green = 4,
    Other = 8
};

```

In my code I can OR-connect these flags and all works fine.

Now I store variables of this enum type in the settings.
If I add a setting entry, I can set as type the enum from above and select/set one (!) of the values as default (e.g. Green).

```
<Setting Name="FilterResult" Type="MyNamespace.ResultValues" Scope="User">
  <Value Profile="(Default)">Green</Value>
</Setting>

```

But how can I store a combination of values as default - as I can do this in code with

```
ResultValues.Red | ResultValues.Yellow | ResultValues.Green | ResultValues.Other

```

Answer: 
You can store the values just by separating them with a comma:

```
<Value Profile="(Default)">Green, Other</Value>

```

The built-in parser will convert such a string to the correct "combined" enum value:

```
ResultValues.Green | ResultValues.Other

```
Comma separated:

```
Flags f = Enum.Parse<Flags>("Red,Yellow,Green");

```
