this someenum located in other dll referenced web app. cannot change dll (someenum) further clarity want use enum (someenum) little extension, want add few more enum properties.

how can done?

it cannot, basically.

all can declare new enum, perhaps same name in difference namespace, perhaps different name:

namespace my.local {     public enum someenum {         // originals         = the.other.someenum.a,         b = the.other.someenum.b,         c = the.other.someenum.c,         // extras         d, e, f     } }
