Error while defining enum structure.

I am creating class like this with enum.

 public class D
    {
        enum e { "one","two","three"};
    }

It is giving "identifier expected" compilation error. Whats wrong in this. is there any another structure.

You could do:

enum e
{
   One = 1,
   Two = 2,
   Three = 3
}

You can't have string enumerations in C#, for an example using attributes have a look at this article at codeproject.

You need to define your enum like

enum e
{
  One, Two, Three
}

Remove the quotes and try like this.

enum e{
one,
two,
three
};

The answer is in the error message. You need to identify each of the values in the enum e.g.

 enum e
 {
   One = 1,
   Two = 2,
   Three = 3
 }
