If you want the enumeration to be visible everywhere in your namespace,
you'd do something like:

namespace myApplication {

public enum myEnum {
valueOne,
valueTwo,
valueThree;
}

public class myClass {
private myEnum _EnumValue;
public myEnum EnumValue {
get { return _EnumValue; }
set { _EnumValue = value; }
}
// .. you fill in the class constructor and stuff...
}

}

If you want the enumeration to be explicitly attached to the class that is
exposing it as a property, then just move the definition of the enumeration
inside of the class (leave it public), but then be aware that elsewhere in
your program you'll have to refer to those values as
"myClass.myEnum.valueOne" rather than just "myEnum.valueOne".
