I do this all the time with my settings properties to control the values that can be set for things. Then like you say, you end up switching on that somewhere. Love the autocomplete on that so I don't have to keep looking up the possible choices.

>>>
>>>Define the enum:
>>>

>>>private enum Days { Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday };
>>>

>>>Which is short for:
>>>

>>>private enum Days : int
>>>		{
>>>			Sunday = 0,
>>>			Monday = 1,
>>>			Tuesday = 2,
>>>			Wednesday = 3,
>>>			Thursday = 4,
>>>			Friday = 5,
>>>			Saturday = 6
>>>		};
>>>

>>>
>>>The trype switch and and press tab , then type in the variable that is that enum type and press enter. Auto complete fills out the following for you:
>>>

>>>Days days = Days.Friday;
>>>			switch (days)
>>>			{
>>>				case Days.Sunday:
>>>					break;
>>>				case Days.Monday:
>>>					break;
>>>				case Days.Tuesday:
>>>					break;
>>>				case Days.Wednesday:
>>>					break;
>>>				case Days.Thursday:
>>>					break;
>>>				case Days.Friday:
>>>					break;
>>>				case Days.Saturday:
>>>					break;
>>>				default:
>>>					break;
>>>			}
