  Thank you.

  You can't access "this" in the property, because it is static, and doesn't have a "this" object.

  You seem to be trying to be unnecessarily clever. All you need is:

    1: struct BarColours

    2: {

    3:   private string _colour;

    4:   private BarColours(string c)

    5:   {

    6:     _colour = c;

    7:   }

    8:  

    9:   public static BarColours White

   10:   {

   11:     get

   12:     {

   13:       return new BarColours("White");

   14:     }

   15:   }

   16: }

  public static void Code(string[] args)
  {
     BarColours b = BarColours.White;
  // BarColours a = new BarColours("XXXX");  // 'BarColours.BarColours(string)' is inaccessible due to its protection level
  }

  Hi,
  you have two options:
  
  1- Make the _colour field static. I don't think this option fits what you want to do but it is possible to use it.
  
  2- Return a new object with the colour you want:
  public static BarColours White
  {
  get
  {
  BarColours bc = new BarColours();
  bc._colour = "White";
  return bc;
  }
  }
  
  Same for the Black property.

  You can access the _colour field even though it's private since you're in "scope" of the same object you're trying to access.
  
  Just the same way you can call the private constructor in the sample that James Curran provided.

  I can't get to the _colour field from bc as the field is private.
