How to save enums as strings?

Hi,
I want to ask, how do I force the MongoRepository to save enums to the mongodb as strings, instead of numbers?

Remember MongoRepository is simply an abstraction on top of the Mongo C# driver. So you'd use something like this and this works fine with MongoRepository:

using MongoDB.Bson;
using MongoDB.Bson.Serialization.Attributes;
using MongoRepository;
using System.Linq;


class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var repo = new MongoRepository<Person>();
        repo.Add(new Person { Name = "Rob Janssen", Gender = Gender.Male });
        var test = repo.First();
    }
}

public enum Gender
{
    Male,
    Female
}
public class Person : Entity
{
    [BsonRepresentation(BsonType.String)]
    public Gender Gender { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
}

Gives us:

{
  "_id" : ObjectId("567328e66c393742f4eeb06c"),
  "Gender" : "Male",
  "Name" : "Rob Janssen"
}

Thank you so much.
