    How to share an Enum accross DLLs

    I have some pubic Enums I like to use throughout my application. Now I'm
    parsing the application out into smaller DLLs or projects. How an I share a
    common Enum across all the projects?

    Thanks.

      You should be able to share the Enums if you declare them public in the Class
      module before the Class statement. For ezample, in a class module or class
      library, etc.

      Imports ...............
      Imports ..............
      Public Enum myenum
      First
      Second
      End Enum

      Public Class MyClass
      ............
      ............
      End Class

          Implement the enum in one project and then add a reference to the project
          from the other class library projects. Import the namespace containing the
          enum and use it ;-). To add a project reference, select the project in
          solution explorer and choose "Add reference..." from its context menu. In
          the "Add reference..." dialog select the "Projects" tab and add the
          reference.

          Notice that it's important to define the enumeration only in one of the DLLs
          and then use this enumeration instead of defining an enum with the same name
          in each of the DLLs.
