C# what difference enum in namespace than enum inside a class

Question

i have a question about enums that the codes are below: ``` namespace space { public enum MyEnums { Enum1,Enum2,... } } namespace space { public class MyClass { public enum MyEnums { Enum1,Enum2,... } } } ``` whats difference and how to use them?

Accepted Answer

Well syntactically the only difference is that you'd preface the enum type with the containing class:

```
MyClass.MyEnums.Enum1 
```

versus just

```
MyEnums.Enum1 
```

(in both cases the namespace is assumed to be covered with a `using` directive)

However, containing it within the class also lets you apply accessibility differently - you could have a `private` enum that is only usable within that class, while an enum within a namespace must be either `public` or `internal`.
