Static class problems

[venerable bede]

I am struggling to get my pea brain around this one.

I want to create a static class which holds an enumeration. Something like :

Static class enumTypes
{
 
public enum choice
{
choice1, choice2
}
 
}

I want to be able to do something like this :

If (myThingy = enumTypes.choice.choice1)
{
//do something
}
else
{
//do something else
}

The exact syntax is troubling me because I am silly.
