csbase works great when the enum has a name, but this is an anonymous enum.

Anyway, I found that if I redefine UINT_MAX to -1, I can use int for all named and anonymous enums:

  // Set UINT_MAX as a C# compiler constant
  %csconst(1);
  // C# enums are int, not uint, so redefine UINT_MAX as an int
  #define UINT_MAX -1
  // Back to runtime constants
  %csconst(0);

Thank you for your help; only reply if you feel compelled to do so.
