  How to call Cnn in other classes

  Using a property is the normal design approach.   Properties - C# Programming guide

      public class Common
      {
          public SqlConnection Cnn { get; set; }
  
          public enum Gender
          {
              Male,
              Female,
              Other
          }
      }
      class Program
      {
  
          static void Main(string[] args)
          {
              Common common = new Common() { Cnn = new SqlConnection("Data Source=blogging.db") };
              Console.WriteLine(common.Cnn.ConnectionString);
              Console.WriteLine(Common.Gender.Female);
          }
      }

  Enums are named constants.  Enumeration types (C# reference)

  In your unusual design, the enum is accessed accessed through the class.  Typically, enums are placed within a namespaces not a class.  This same advice was given in another one of your threads with the same subject.

  I think you might be after the following pattern.

  namespace ConsoleAppCS
  {
      public enum Gender
      {
          Male,
          Female,
          Other
      }
  
      public class Common
      {
          public SqlConnection Cnn { get; set; }
          public Gender Gender { get; set; }
  
      }
      class Program
      {
  
          static void Main(string[] args)
          {
              Common common = new Common() { 
                  Cnn = new SqlConnection("Data Source=blogging.db"),
                  Gender = Gender.Male
              };
  
              Console.WriteLine(common.Cnn.ConnectionString);
              Console.WriteLine(common.Gender);
          }
      }
  }
