Things like Gender and Status in my Domain is ValueObjects?

Question

I have a Person Entity in my domain, this person have Gender and Status property, this properties are ValueObjects?

Gender = { Male, Female }

Status = { Active, Inactive }

I'm using EF, I'm thinking of creating enums for them. I'm doing something wrong?

Nope. This is fine, completely standard.

Yes. They are like "6" or "red". Their value is their identity, and therefore they should be value types. – jason Aug 19 '11 at 20:39
