Bind UWP ComboBox ItemsSource to Enum

Question

It's possible to use the ObjectDataProvider in a WPF application to bind an enum's string values to a ComboBox's ItemsSource, as evidenced in this question.

However, when using a similar snippet in a UWP application, the ff. error message is displayed:

"ObjectDataProvider is not supported in a Windows Universal project."

Is there a simple alternative to do this in UWP?

Answer 1

Below is a working example from one of my prototypes.

ENUM

public enum GetDetails
{
    test1,
    test2,
    test3,
    test4,
    test5
}

ItemsSource

var _enumval = Enum.GetValues(typeof(GetDetails)).Cast<GetDetails>();
cmbData.ItemsSource = _enumval.ToList();

This will bind combobox to Enum Values.
