Enum question...

[K. Wilder]

I need to declare a project level Enum that any procedure in any class can
reference so there's continuity with the values.

How do I do this?

At present, if I declare a Module in a project and want to refer to it in an
class I get the following error:

[Method] cannot expose type [Enum] outside the project through class
[ClassName]

Example:

Module Common
Public Enum icPriority As Integer
Low
Medium
High
End Enum
End Module

(Separate Class file)

Public Class Checker
Public Sub DoCheck(ByVal p as NameSpace.Commo n.icPriority) ' This
returns the squiggle with the error

End Sub
End Class


How do I reference the global enum in a procedure as an parameter?

Thanks,

King Wilder

Re: Enum question...

You can declare an enumeration at the namespace level, outside of any
classes or modules.

Re: Enum question...

Kevin,

Can you give me an example?

My question was, how to enable a single Enum to be used globally throughout
the project. I have been able to do what I want, but not using a globally
available Enum. I've had to copy the Enum into each class that I needed to
reference it.

Is there a way to use and access a single Enum to be used globally for the
project and use it in a procedure the way I described in my first post? If
so, can you present me with an example or a explanation of how to do it?

Re: Enum question...

Sure King:

namespace DsiGlobal.Imagi ng
{
namespace Tiffs
{
/// <summary inherits="Syste m.Int32">
/// Description of extra components.
/// </summary>
public enum ExtraSamples : int
{
/// <summary value="0">
/// Unspecified
/// </summary>
Unspecified = 0,

/// <summary value="1">
/// Associated alpha data (with pre-multiplied color)
/// </summary>
AssociatedAlpha = 1,

/// <summary value="2">
/// Unassociated alpha data
/// </summary>
UnassociatedAlp ha = 2
}

// ...

}
}
