C# Webservices Enum default value overide ignored

Hello I have the following enum in a class that is used in a web service

    public enum Genders
    {
      Male = 1,
      Female = 2
    }

When I reference the webservice in a c# winform I get an error if I instantiate a class that is referenced to that web sevice
 profile p = new profile();
 p.Gender = (Genders)2;

When I run the code I get "There was an error generating the XML document." the stack trace goes back to the Reference.cs file. Sure enough in the reference I have code that looks like this

    [System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttribute("System.Xml", "2.0.50727.1433")]
    [System.SerializableAttribute()]
    [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTypeAttribute(Namespace="http://xxxxxxxx.net/")]
    public enum Genders {
       
        /// <remarks/>
        Male,
       
        /// <remarks/>
        Female,
    }

So it is being cause by the local reference reseting the default back to 0 when it generates. If I go in and manually change the code in the reference.cs to

    public enum Genders {
       
        /// <remarks/>
        Male=1,
       
        /// <remarks/>
        Female=2,
    }

it works. However i can not do that because when it autogenerates it wipes my changes out as soon as I update the web reference.  

Any Ideas why this is happening and what I can do to fix it?
