# 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>.
