Programmatically bind enum type to combobox

Question

I have the following enum.

public enum DATABASE_TYPES
        {
            JDataStore, Access, SQLServer, H2, PostGresSQL, MySQL
        };

I would like to bind it to a WPF combo box.

I have tried:

cmb.ItemsSource = DATABASE_TYPES;

but get the error:

'ConfigGui.MainWindow.DATABASE_TYPES' is a 'type' but is used like a 'variable'

Bind it to the values of the enum:

cmb.ItemsSource = Enum.GetValues(typeof(DATABASE_TYPES)).Cast<DATABASE_TYPES>();
