[PT Exorcist]

i have an enumeration in a class...and i want that 1 function has a parameter that uses that enumeration...how do i do that? i want that when in form1 i type mClass.mFunction i can put in there my enumeration as parameter..i tryed puting the enumeration as public but didnt work

Make sure your enum is public, then it's fairly straight forward:

namespace MyNamespace
{
    public enum enumMyEnum
    {eElement1 = 0, eElement2, eElement3}

    public class Test
    {
        public Test()
        {
            
        }

        public string MyFunction(enumMyEnum p_enumParameter)
        {
            return p_enumParameter.ToString();
        }
    }
} 

You either have to add a namaspace to your form or use a full qualifyer for the enum:

private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    string strSomeValue;
    MyNamespace.Test objMyClass = new MyNamespace.Test();

    strSomeValue = objMyClass.MyFunction(MyNamespace.enumMyEnum.eElement1);
}

do i really have to put that class in another namespace?

Everything's got to be under a namespace...

[PT Exorcist]

lol but i am under the form1 namespace lol

If you are making creating that class in form1 then thats ok, however If you are creating the class in a separate file, then you can either use the form1 namespace or create a new one.
