How to: Bind to an Enumeration

This example shows how to bind to an enumeration by binding to the enumeration's GetValues method.

Example

In the following example, the xref:System.Windows.Controls.ListBox displays the list of xref:System.Windows.HorizontalAlignment enumeration values through data binding. The xref:System.Windows.Controls.ListBox and the xref:System.Windows.Controls.Button are bound such that you can change the xref:System.Windows.FrameworkElement.HorizontalAlignment%2A property value of the xref:System.Windows.Controls.Button by selecting a value in the xref:System.Windows.Controls.ListBox.
