WPF: How to populate combobox with enum in Xaml

Question

I know there are several ways to do it, but I would like to make it even easier if possible because I have a lot of comboboxes to bind in this way. There is a suggestion usi

Answer 1

You would be better off with a MarkupExtension, like this one.

Answer 2

CodeNaked posts a great way of doing this

For your approach to work you can change the converter to Enum.GetValues(value as Type) and use the x:Type syntax as Source for the Binding

ItemsSource="{Binding Source={x:Type local:MyValues},
                      Converter={StaticResource EnumToArrayConverter}}"

EnumToArrayConverter

public class EnumToArrayConverter : IValueConverter
{
    public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
    {
        return Enum.GetValues(value as Type);
    }
    public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
    {
        return null; // I don't care about this
    }
}
