how do I create a struct similar to system.drawing.color

Mike,  I don't know if this is what you are after but here is some code which hopefully does what you want.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
  {
  public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
    public Form1()
      {
      InitializeComponent();
      }

    private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
      {
      something some;
      some.someValue = (int)something.valueName.tree;
      switch (some.someValue )
        {
        case (int)something.valueName.flower:
            {
            MessageBox.Show("Flower");
            }
            break;
        case (int)something.valueName.ball:
            {
            MessageBox.Show("Ball");
            }
            break;
        case (int)something.valueName.tree:
              {
              MessageBox.Show("Tree");
              }
              break;

        }
      }

    private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
      {
      something some = new something();
      some.someValue = some.Flower;
      switch (some.someValue)
        {
        case (int)something.valueName.flower:
            {
            MessageBox.Show("Flower");
            }
            break;
        case (int)something.valueName.ball:
              {
              MessageBox.Show("Ball");
              }
              break;
        case (int)something.valueName.tree:
                {
                MessageBox.Show("Tree");
                }
                break;

        }

      }
   
    }

  struct something
    {
    public enum valueName { flower, ball, tree, black};
    public int someValue;
    public int Tree
      {
      get
        {
        return ((int)something.valueName.tree);
        }
      }
    public int Flower
      {
      get
        {
        return ((int)something.valueName.flower);
        }
      }
    }
  }
