Re: Managed enums

You can use a managed enum in native code but it's a tad messy if you
have to compile it both natively and with /clr since the scoping rules
for managed and native enums are different - i.e. with a managed enum
you have to say Color::Red and if its native you have to say Red

This has become somewhat of a moot point for me anyway since I have
found that I cannot get C++ code compiled with /clr to execute correctly
in the MS Unit Test framework since the CRT requires you are in the
default domain

The problem is that default access is internal.  To override that you
need
to specific either the access on the enum or its parent class.
Unmanaged
C++ doesn't have that concept and you'd have to used C++/CLI syntax
which
only applies to managed types.

I know of nothing that changes the default access to be something other
than internal for a project or a module.

I also see nothing in the .NET 1.0, 1.1, or 2.0 assemblies about
NativeEnumAttribute.  My guess is the documentation is wrong and
NativeEnumAttribute is replaced by ScopelessEnumAttribute.

You should be able to use a managed enum in native code in the same
module, if that's what you need to do.
