Newbie question: Enum in Interface

In VB I can define an Enum inside an interface

Public Interface ITest
    Sub a()
    Enum MyEnum
        kk = 1
    End Enum
End Interface

When I try to do the same in C# the complier complains : "myEnum": las
interfaces no pueden declarar tipos.

public interface ITest
{
    void a();
    public enum myEnum
    {
        kk = 1
    }
}

I can view the VB file with Lutz Roeder's .NET Reflector

Can this be done in C# ?
How can VB do this?

Best regards,

No - C# is very limited compared to VB (and J#) regarding what can be
included in interfaces. Basically, methods, delegates, and properties are
allowed, but not enums, classes, or structs.
