Iterating through an enumeration in Silverlight?

Question

In .Net it is possible to iterate through an enumeration by using

System.Enum.GetNames(typeof(MyEnum)) 

or

System.Enum.Ge         


        

Answer 1

Or maybe strongly typed using linq, like this:

    public static T[] GetEnumValues()
    {
        var type = typeof(T);
        if (!type.IsEnum)
            throw new ArgumentException("Type '" + type.Name + "' is not an enum");

        return (
          from field in type.GetFields(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Static)
          where field.IsLiteral
          select (T)field.GetValue(null)
        ).ToArray();
    }

    public static string[] GetEnumStrings()
    {
        var type = typeof(T);
        if (!type.IsEnum)
            throw new ArgumentException("Type '" + type.Name + "' is not an enum");

        return (
          from field in type.GetFields(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Static)
          where field.IsLiteral
          select field.Name
        ).ToArray();
    }
