enums

[guyvo]

hi,

I was glad to hear that v1.5 the enum class was introduced. I have a piece
of code

public class Input{
public enum Condition {open,close}
private Condition State;

Input (Condition state){State = state;};

protected void SetState (Condition state){State = state;};
protected Condition GetState(){return State;};
}

The compiler gives me the following error :

"enum declarations allowed only in static contexts"

The enum in this example is just used as a type to my variable.
What is wrong here?
What purpose does it have than in respect to other langauges like C ?

Is that "Input" an inner class by coincidence ? This would explain the error
msg, because you cannot do any static declaration in an inner class...

Best regards,
Jan
