Return Enum From C# Property getters

Question

How do you return an Enum from a setter/getter function?

Currently I have this:

    public enum LowerCase
    {
        a,
        b,
    }
    public en

The error is correct. It's basically the same as doing this

public int ChooseCase
{
    get{ return int; }
}

What you'll want to do is use real classes - not enums - with a common base.

public abstract class Case
{
    public abstract string ModifyString(string value);
}

public class UpperCase : Case
{
    public override string ModifyString( string value )
    { 
        return String.ToUpper( value ); 
    }
}
