    This MSDN article on enum best practices makes no recommendation on where to store enum definitions.

    You’ll get different recommendations. Personally, I tend to store enums in the same file as the class they’re related to. I like to keep my file structure the same as my namespace structure, as much as possible, and so if my enums naturally fall into a particular namespace, I’ll store the definition in the corresponding file.

    My suggestion is, find a scheme that works for you, and stick with it.
