Bind ListBox (or Telerik RadListPicker) to Enum - telerik

Question

I have an enum:
public enum UnitOfMeasure
{
Meters,
Kilometers,
Yards,
Miles,
Time
}
and I want to bind it to a ListBox (actually a Telerik RadListPicker, but it works the same):
<telerikInput:RadListPicker
Header="Measure work in:"
ItemsSource="{Binding WorkUnitOfMeasure}"
HeaderStyle="{StaticResource HeaderStyle}"
x:Name="workUnitsListPicker"
Margin="18">
</telerikInput:RadListPicker>
My View Model:
/// <summary>
/// The <see cref="WorkUnitOfMeasure" /> property's name.
/// </summary>
public const string WorkUnitOfMeasurePropertyName = "WorkUnitOfMeasure";
private ObservableCollection<Enum<UnitOfMeasure>> _workUnitOfMeasure;
/// <summary>
/// Gets the WorkUnitOfMeasure property.
/// Changes to that property's value raise the PropertyChanged event.
/// This property's value is broadcasted by the Messenger's default instance when it changes.
/// </summary>
public ObservableCollection<Enum<UnitOfMeasure>> WorkUnitOfMeasure
{
get
{
return _workUnitOfMeasure;
}
set
{
if (_workUnitOfMeasure == value)
{
return;
}
var oldValue = _workUnitOfMeasure;
_workUnitOfMeasure = value;
RaisePropertyChanged(WorkUnitOfMeasurePropertyName);
}
}
And in my constructor I have tried variations of something like this:
WorkUnitOfMeasure = new ObservableCollection<Enum<UnitOfMeasure>>();
I can't seem to get the listbox to bind to Enum. I know I'm missing something simple, but I can't figure it out.

Answer 1

I believe it should be an
ObservableCollection<UnitOfMeasure>
not
ObservableCollection<Enum<UnitOfMeasure>
If not what error are you seeing?

If you are binding the single enum items to listbox:
Following code may help you:
List<string> newList = new List<string>();
for (int i = 0; i <= (int)UnitOfMeasure.Time; i++)
newList.Add(Enum.GetName(typeof(UnitOfMeasure), i));
SampleList.ItemsSource = newList;
