How to get global access to enum types in C#?

Question

This is probably a stupid question, but I can\'t seem to do it. I want to set up some enums in one class like this:

public enum Direction { north, east, south,          


        

Answer 1

Declare enum in the scope of a namespace like a class but not into a class:

namespace MyApplication
{
   public enum Direction { north, east, south, west };
}

In case enum is declared in the scope of a class, you have make this class public too:

namespace MyApplication
{
   public class MyClass
   {
      public enum Direction { north, east, south, west };
   }
}

Usage:

MyClass.Direction dir = ...
