Declaring Enums

I have a an assembly with the following code
Module modEnums
Public Enum enuFixType
ftyButtSide 'jamb full height, header inside jambs
ftyButtTop 'header full width, jambs butt up to header
ftyMorticeSide 'tenons at each end of header
ftyMorticeTop 'tenons at end of jambs
End Enum
End Module

Public Class clsSubFrame

Public Property FixType() As enuFixType
Get
Return m_ftyFixType
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As enuFixType)
m_ftyFixType = Value
End Set
End Property

.......

End Class

This won't build because I get the following error.
C:\_Development \Door Schedule\Door Schedule VB\BO\clsSubFra me.vb(26):
'FixType' cannot expose a Friend type outside of the Public class
'clsSubFrame'.

I want enuFixType availabe to all of my application. Could someone tell me
how/where to declare it to avoid this error.

The module 'modEnums' is implicitly 'Friend', not 'Public'. Eiter add the
'Public' access modifier or declare the enum outside the module (the latter
is the preferred way).

I recently got into a discussion with a co-worker about using enums across a dll interface. He wanted to use chars instead, argueing that depending on compiler settings the size of an enum could change and lead to memory corruption. I didn't see how this was possible. He claims that if a dll built for a program is built with different compiler settings than the launcher program, the enum size could change. The only way I could figure...

i have been toying with the idea of making my enums smarter - ie, more in line with the rest of the language. i haven't tested it yet, but what i came up with is a template like this: template <typename Enum> class smart_enum { public: typedef Enum enum_type;

I was surprised and somewhat disappointed by the fact that you cannot declare types in an interface. I discovered this when defining an interface that included events, where the definition of the delegates had to be placed outside the definition of the interface. To me, the delegate definition is an integral part of the interface definition. Also, I could imagine cases where one would like to define enums and structs in interfaces as well (to be...

Hello CSharpies, Can Enums in C# be UInt32 Types, and not just Int32 Types. I have a lot of constant declarations that are UInt32 that I want to put in Enums to ease the use of Intellisence. I have them in structs for now, I thought I'd ask. Would IntPtr Enums push the bounds of a stupid question? Regarding a post a bit further down by Tom; ' What would you like to change in C# and .NET?'

Hi, I'm working on a project that historically contains around 40 enums. In the database various fields refer to the int values of these enums, but of course ref integrity is not enofrced and when looking at the db we can't tell what the value in a field represents. The other problem is that our enums are currently all stored in a single class, which means that because of no visibility constraints the enums are often used out of context...

I have some legacy C++ code which requires some enums to be 1 or 2 bytes in size. I'd ideally like to be able to specify that a few carefully selected enums are a particular size. By default, g++ seems to create enums of 4 bytes in length, unless I use the -fshort-enums option. I don't much want to use this all or nothing approach in case it breaks library code etc, and there's no guarantee that other compilers have a comparable...

This one stumped me while refactoring some code to use generics... Suppose I declare an enum MyEnum {...} Is there a good reason why MyEnum doesn't implement IEquatable<MyEnum> ? Of course, I can cast a MyEnum instance down to the int / short whatever (since int implements IEquatable<int>), but I don't like doing that, as it feels a bit messy, and I am then propegating the things that know what the base represenation is...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
