How to deal with almost the same enums?

Question
I need to define enums in several classes. The majority of fields are the same in all of the enums. But one has one or two more fields, another has fewer fields. Now I wonder what is the best way to deal with this?
Create separate enums
public enum Foo {field1, field2, field5 }; public enum Bar {field1, field2, field3, field4 };
or use a general enum for them all
public enum FooBar {field1, field2, field3, field4 , field5};
The enumerations contain the list of actions available for each class.
Update : sorry if the question was not clear enough . I want to use these enums as parameters
in classes methods . for example classOne
has a method as below :
public void DoSomeThing(Foo action,object moreData)
{
// operation desired
}
here I want action to be limited to Insert
, Update
and Delete
while in classTwo
:
public void DoSomeThingElse(Foo action)
{
// operation desired
}
I want to limit action availabe to Insert
and Select
No correct solution
