How do I get the compiler to select the BinaryWriter.Write overload that I want?

Question

I use binary readers and writers to read / write data to a file. For example, for this:

MyWriter.Write(Ord(TMyEnum(2)));

I expect it to write SmallInt for reading with

MyReader.ReadSmallInt

But in the IDE, I see that it writes a byte. How to get the author to write the type I want?

Answer 1

Pass it Smallint

Smallint(SomeEnum)
