Too funny. Glad we all keep learning otherwise it would get boring. I have Enums like this I use throughout the application. The value is stored in a setting file as int, but all references are from the enum. I need it to be public in this case. Just an example.
public enum ApplicationMode
{
     None = 0,
     ThumbDrive = 1,
     Wifi = 2,
     Web = 3
}
