Basic question about enums

Another basic question.

In VB6, when I needed an enum that was used by multiple classes and/or
modules, I would put it in a module and set it as public enum, so the entire
project would have access to the enum and I would only have to maintain it
in one place.

In a C#.NET assembly, where would I put an enum that needs to be accessible
by multiple classes and what access modifiers would I need?

Same way you would make a class publicly available to other classes. Make
the enum public and do not nest it inside any other class.
