Allow enums to be a ValueSource

[Juan Manuel Truppia]

Hey, greetings to all

If I want to use all possible values of an enum, I have to create a helper method.

Suppose you have

public enum Month

{

    January,

    February,

  }

You could pass them as a Values attribute, but then you would have to list them all. What if you add new elements to the enum?

The solution is to add a helper method like this

public IEnumerable<Month> GetMonths()
{
    return Enum.GetValues(typeof(Month));
}

And then call it

[ValueSource("GetMonths")] Month exDestination,

This is a good solution, but what if you have lots of enums? You can't pass a parameterized method to ValueSource, that would solve the problem (you could just use Enum.GetValues inside the ValueSource)

It would be ideal to have some kind of override or a new attribute (maybe ValueSourceEnum?) that took the name of the enum and "expanded" it to all the possible values

Regards!

Juan Manuel

I'll probably add some syntax to do this in 3.0. See this feature request:
