C# Classes instance members vs. enum
<p>I have written programs for many years, using Dinosaur languages and techniques. I understand C++ very well, but stumbled with OOP. Also I write projects in assembly for PIC chip devices. I have recently discovered C# and am trying to write PC apps, more like a GUI, for the device I create. Ok, that's why I'm here and this is my question.</p>

<p>What is the difference between private variables in a clsClass type and using enumeration enum to instantiate the variable. This question arose when I was looking at some C# Class code for serial ports. example:  private int SomeClassMember; and                         private enum TransmissionType{TEXT,HEX} ?</p>

<p>Where do the enum statements appear in a Class definition?</p>
