Question

Say I have an enum with four values:

public enum CompassHeading {     North,     South,     East,     West } 

What XAML would be required to have a ComboBox be populated with these items?

<ComboBox ItemsSource='{Binding WhatGoesHere???}' /> 

Ideally I wouldn’t have to set up C# code for this.

You can use the ObjectDataProvider to do this:

<ObjectDataProvider MethodName='GetValues'      ObjectType='{x:Type sys:Enum}' x:Key='odp'>     <ObjectDataProvider.MethodParameters>         <x:Type TypeName='local:CompassHeading'/>     </ObjectDataProvider.MethodParameters> </ObjectDataProvider>  <ComboBox ItemsSource='{Binding Source={StaticResource odp}}' />
