C# How to use property by setting multiple values

I want to do something like this.

public partial class Form1 : Form{
    // bla bla.....
}
public enum FormMode { 
        Insert,
        Update,
        Delete,
        View,
        Print
    }
private FormMode frmMode = FormMode.Insert;
        public FormMode MyFormMode
        {
            get { return this.frmMode; }
            set { this.frmMode = value; }
        }

And use it's like this.

fmDetails.MyFormMode= FormMode.Insert | FormMode.Delete | FormMode.Update;

In order to do what you are doing, you have to declare an enum as shown below. The most important thing is that the enum values are all powers of two to allow them to be used in statements like FormMode.Insert | FormMode.Delete | FormMode.Update.

[Flags] //Not necessary, it only allows for such things such as nicer formatted printing using .ToString() http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8447/what-does-the-flags-enum-attribute-mean-in-c
public enum FormMode { 
    Insert=1,
    Update=2,
    Delete=4,
    View=8,
    Print=16
}
