使用代码

public class MainWindow : Window, INotifyPropertyChanged
{private ObservableCollection<EnumItem> enums;public ObservableCollection<EnumItem> Enums{ get { return this.enums; } set { if (value != this.enums) { this.enums = value; this.NotifyPropertyChanged(); } } }public MainWindow(){this.InitializeComponent();this.DataContext = this;this.Enums = DayOfWeek.Monday.AsObservableEnum();// or //this.Enums = ExtendEnum.AsObservableEnum(typeof(DayOfWeek));}
}

在XAML中，您可能希望使用ListBox来允许选择所显示的枚举数：

<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Enums}" Height="120" Width="120" DisplayMemberPath="Name"/>

一旦在用户界面中选择了枚举值，就可以出于任何目的完全访问父枚举类型。
