Binding enum to combobox at win8 platform using mvvmlight

Question

I'm trying to bind an enum to combobox, so I tried to follow a guide that suggested using this code:

    <Page.Resources>
    <ObjectDataProvider MethodName="GetValues"
    ObjectType="{x:Type sys:Enum}"
    x:Key="ExampleEnumValues">
        <ObjectDataProvider.MethodParameters>
            <x:Type TypeName="ExampleEnum" />
        </ObjectDataProvider.MethodParameters>
    </ObjectDataProvider>
</Page.Resources>

The problem is that it says that "objectdataprovider is not supported in a windows app project". is there another way to do it? Thanks to everyone in advance.

Well, if you want the enum values showed in the combobox, all you have to do is this:

at your viewModel:

    public Array SomeName { get; set; }
//c'tor
 public viewModelName()
        {
            SomeName = Enum.GetValues(typeof(MyEnumType));
        }

And at your view:

<ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding SomeName}" ></ComboBox>
