How can I declare a public enumeration that can be used in MORE than one
class as a property type?

When I declare the enumeration as public in a module and then attempt to use
it as property type I receive the following message:

    'MyProperty' cannot expose a Friend type outside of the Public class
'MyClass'

If this is not possible are there any suggestions for a work around?

How about declaring it at a namespace level? Not in a class or a module?
eg)

(Pseudo code, i've never installed the vb.net part of vs.net on my machine)

namespace MyApp
public enum MyEnum

end enum

end namespace

That will work in C#, not sure about VB.NET
