Description

Same as in THRIFT-1318 with C#.
It makes more sense to write

Self.Property = TMyEnumType.SomeValue;

instead of the C-ish casting style like in

Self.Property = TMyEnumType(-42);

And since it seems not to be possible to assign values other than the IDL-defined enum values, there is no reason left to use the cast.
