In VB6, Enums that I declare within a class as PUBLIC are know outside of this class. In otehr words, the enum is global and may be referenced outside of the class in which it is declared.

In VB.Net, a Public enum is local to the class in which it is declared or instances of the class or classes that inherit from the class in which the Enum declaration resides.

Use
Classname.Enumname
or
import the class
or
declare the Enum outside a class.

This will also make your enum global

Public Module modDeclarations
Public Enum MyEnum
enumval01
enumval02
End Enum
End Module

Sapporo,
I tend to prefer:
Public Enum MyEnum
enumval01
enumval02
End Enum
Click to expand...
Public Module modDeclarations
Click to expand...
End Module

As the module is NOT needed to hold the Enum declaration. Enum declarations
can exist at the Namespace level just like Class, Module, Interface, and
Delegate.

Hope this helps
