Hello everyone,


Suppose I have two enums which has an item with the same names -- but
different values,

Code: 
enum foo {

NAME = 100;
}

enum goo {

NAME = 200;
}

Are there any ways to specify whether I need to access NAME in foo or NAME
in goo?


thanks in advance,
George
 
You have to put them in different namespaces, otherwise the code doesn't
compile. If you do that, you can refer enum values using namespace name.

BTW... this is a newsgroup for C++ CLI so I suppose that you're using it. You
can use 'enum class' instead of C++ enum. Enum class values don't have the
problem of scope visibility (present in C++ enum values).
