I need to declare a project level Enum that any procedure in any class can
reference so there's continuity with the values.

How do I do this?

At present, if I declare a Module in a project and want to refer to it in an
class I get the following error:

[Method] cannot expose type [Enum] outside the project through class
[ClassName]

Example:

Module Common
Public Enum icPriority As Integer
Low
Medium
High
End Enum
End Module

(Separate Class file)

Public Class Checker
Public Sub DoCheck(ByVal p as NameSpace.Common.icPriority) ' This
returns the squiggle with the error

End Sub
End Class


How do I reference the global enum in a procedure as an parameter?

Thanks,

King Wilder
 
You can declare an enumeration at the namespace level, outside of any
classes or modules.

Kevin,

Can you give me an example?

My question was, how to enable a single Enum to be used globally throughout
the project. I have been able to do what I want, but not using a globally
available Enum. I've had to copy the Enum into each class that I needed to
reference it.

Is there a way to use and access a single Enum to be used globally for the
project and use it in a procedure the way I described in my first post? If
so, can you present me with an example or a explanation of how to do it?

Sure King:

namespace DsiGlobal.Imaging
{
namespace Tiffs
{
/// <summary inherits="System.Int32">
/// Description of extra components.
/// </summary>
public enum ExtraSamples : int
{
/// <summary value="0">
/// Unspecified
/// </summary>
Unspecified = 0,

/// <summary value="1">
/// Associated alpha data (with pre-multiplied color)
/// </summary>
AssociatedAlpha = 1,

/// <summary value="2">
/// Unassociated alpha data
/// </summary>
UnassociatedAlpha = 2
}

// ...

}
}
