C#

public enum Zyxwvut
  {
  OneValue,
  AnotherValue,
  WhateverValue,
  AndSoOn
  }

From the MSDN page:

Usually it is best to define an enum directly within a namespace so that all classes in the namespace can access it with equal convenience. However, an enum can also be nested within a class or struct.

I could just use the name "Fred"

I can use the names in the enum list as they are ? Without the UniqueValue.Fred nomenclature ?

Looked it up on MSDN and DUH !!! They don't have it referenced !

Perhaps it would be worth getting hold of a good reference on C# (.NET Book Zero[^] is a reasonable start), rather than trying to learn from CodeProject questions.

From Petzold's Book:

The latest version of Windows—Microsoft Windows Vista—includes the .NET Framework 3.0

Doesn DataGridView require a form to view the results or something?

By entry point do you mean is it just a win form, exe or class library? If so I have added a form project and console application project to my solution. So I have a class library that contains that code. I added a reference to that class library in the new forms and console projects that I created. I tried following this tutorial with no success.
