I have an enum that I'd like to display all possible values of. Is there a way to get an array or list of all the possible values of the enum instead of manually creating such a list? e.g. If I have an enum:

public enum Enumnum { TypeA, TypeB, TypeC, TypeD }

how would I be able to get a List<Enumnum> that contains { TypeA, TypeB, TypeC, TypeD }?

Try this code:

Enum.GetNames(typeof(Enumnum));

This return a string[] with all the enum names of the chosen enum.

Enum.GetValues(typeof(Enumnum));

returns an array of the values in the Enum.
