C++/CLI enum not showing up in C# with reference to C++/CLI project

Question

I can't get the contents of an C++/CLI enum to show up in a C# project.

I can see inside a class I wrote, and even see the enum, but I can't see the enum values. So I can't use the thing on my C# side.

Any reason why contents of a C++/CLI enum wouldn't show up.

My C++/CLI project is compiled as mixed to reuse a C++ library.

And I'm using Visual Studio 2005.

Make sure you used enum class to create a .NET-compatible enumeration, and not a native C++ enum type.

Later versions of Visual C++ require public enum class , to disambiguate from the enum class contextual keyword which is part of C++11 (and therefore creates a native type).
