Convert Delphi Enumerated type to Similar thing in C#

I am new at c# and have been programming for many years in Delphi. I am stuck on the following problem and I hope someone can help me.

In Delphi you could declare a type:

type
  TBtn = (btYes, btNo, btOK);

then create a procedure 

procedure TfrmMain.Button(ABtn: TBtn);
begin
  //Do something;
end;

and call the procedure like this

Button(btYes);

or

Button(btNo);

I want to do the same thing in C#

public Button (ABtn TBtn, string AString){
//Do Someting;
}

and call it

Button(btYes,"Hallo World");

How can I accomplish this?

In Delphi that is an enumerated type. The C# equivalent is an enum.

Declare the type like this:

enum Btn {Yes, No, OK};

Declare the function like this:

public void Button(Btn btn, string str)
{
    // Do Something;
}

And call the function like so:

Button(Btn.Yes, "Hallo World");

While you are still learning C#, I would recommend that you keep an introductory text close to hand.
