forcing set list in parameter list prompts?

When building classes I thought if I just added an enum to the parameter list it would pop up the list of the enums, sort of like intellisence.. But I clearly am missing something..

C# Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1.        public enum eFullWeekDays
  2.         {
  3.             Sunday = 1,
  4.             Monday = 2,
  5.             Tuesday = 3,
  6.             Wednesday = 4,
  7.             Thursday = 5,
  8.             Friday = 6,
  9.             Saturday = 7,
  10.  
  11.         }
  12.  
  13.        public DateTime PrevDayofWeek(DateTime datepassed, eFullWeekDays FullWeekDay,bool subtractWeekIfPassCorrectDay)
  14.         {
  15. :
  16. :
  17. }

Only has the intellisense if I do the following

C# Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1.             dteNewDate = GenDates.PrevDayofWeek(testdate, (GeneralDates.eFullWeekDays)intWKDay, boolIFCorrectDay);
or
C# Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1.             dteNewDate = GenDates.PrevDayofWeek(testdate, GeneralDates.eFullWeekDays.Thursday, boolIFCorrectDay);

Anyway to get it to pop up the weekday list without the prefix of GeneralDates.efullweekdays????

What the **** are you naming your enum type "eFullWeekDays" for and not "FullWeekDays"? Unless you have actual evidence that prefixing your variables with the names of their types increases your productivity, you are just a superstitious nutjob.

No, because you could also theoretically type in a variable of type GeneralDates.eFullWeekDays.

Just a newbie with an incredible learning curve. C#, asp.net, java, html, Linq, AJAx.... etc etc.. Yes at this point you could call me a nutjob from overload..

Since I name the enum in the library and then have to call it in the calling programs it is just helping my overloaded brain. Rather then guessing if I call it Weekday, FullWeekday, DaysOfTheWeek.etc.. Right now the e... helps me get to the list of enums I created and figure out what I need, and helps me seperate them from the long list of objects and properties in the library..

Sorry if my code is offensive, but right now the need is to learn and accomplish.. Quickly...

Sorry, I was just being a jerk

You will have to write the name of the enum's type in order to trigger autocomplete; that's life.

There is a System.DayOfWeek enumeration.
There is a DateTime structure with a property DayOfWeek which returns this enumeration.
So why would you feel the need to make your own?
.Net is HUGE, perhaps you did not know it existed?

ddanbe beat me to it. I'd go with the System.DayOfWeek, however to answer the general enum question, you would only need the GeneralDates if the eFullWeekDays enum instance is outside the scope of your class or namespace.

Example:
C# Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. namespace TestA
  2. {
  3.     public class Class1
  4.     {
  5.         public enum Values
  6.         {
  7.             Val1,
  8.             Val2,
  9.             Val3
  10.         }
  11.     }
  12. }
  13. namespace TestB
  14. {
  15.     public class Class2
  16.     {
  17.         public Class2()
  18.         {
  19.             // have to use namespace and class path
  20.             TestA.Class1.Values.Val1;
  21.         }
  22.     }
  23. }
If you bring it out one level, then you have:
C# Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. namespace TestA
  2. {
  3.     public enum Values
  4.     {
  5.         Val1,
  6.         Val2,
  7.         Val3
  8.     }
  9.     public class Class1
  10.     {
  11.  
  12.     }
  13. }
  14. namespace TestB
  15. {
  16.     public class Class2
  17.     {
  18.         public Class2()
  19.         {
  20.             // have to use namespace path
  21.             TestA.Values.Val2;
  22.         }
  23.     }
  24. }
Or if it's in the same namespace:
C# Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. namespace TestA
  2. {
  3.     public enum Values
  4.     {
  5.         Val1,
  6.         Val2,
  7.         Val3
  8.     }
  9.     public class Class1
  10.     {
  11.  
  12.     }
  13.     public class Class2
  14.     {
  15.         public Class2()
  16.         {
  17.             // same namespace, nothing but enum is needed
  18.             Values.Val3;
  19.         }
  20.     }
  21. }
Intellisense works in all scenarios....
