Nested enums with System.Reflection.Emit

Question

I want to create a class with a nested enum.

public class Foo
{
    public enum Views
    {
    }
}

However System.Reflection.Emit.TypeBuilder class has no DefineNestedEnum only DefinedNestedType. ModuleBuilder.DefineEnum exists that let's me create an enum but I find no way to make it nested. Can I create an enum without faking it (i.e., using EnumBuilder)?

I moved my solution to an answer below.

Answer 1

See the example at the end of this article, which does exactly what you want. (You use DefineNestedType with the right arguments)

Answer 2

Moving my answer I put in the question to here.

Only thing I can think of is to define a nested type as sealed class that extends System.Enum and define public|static|literal fields with constant values. This is essentially what the C# compiler is doing based on what I've learned by disassembling it. If I do this and reference the assembly Intellisense recognizes it as an enum and functions just like an enum.

This is exactly the method MSDN shows that Jeremy linked.
