    {
        public Type Type { get; set; }

        public object ProvideValue(IServiceProvider serviceProvider)
        {
            if (Type is null || !Type.IsEnum)
                throw new Exception("You must provide a valid enum type");

            return Enum.GetValues(Type);

OK sorry for asked you. I forgot. You do not help to people.

@kerbooo I help lots of people... this is a 101 problem... I might take the time to explain it but you're not a client or a sponsor, and at this point you just pissed me off with an entitled attitude.

Hey you are not a GOD. Just a human. OK don't help me or don't help any people which they are not sponsor to you and I have been sponsor for you in past. I do not believe you for helping people. I regret that I asked you for help. Sorry.

I don't pretend to be a "GOD"... but I also don't owe you anything. I've already answered your question I'm not obligated to give you the full code you want or need. I suggest you look at my answer again and then go look at some docs for Xamarin.Forms.

Yes you are right, you do not have do anything for me or any other people. But I think you don't know real mean of "help". Have nice day.

Hey @dansiegel, I am working on an app and trying to reduce the number of strings being moved around.

This example was exactly what I was looking for, and worked 100% as I expected.
Thank you very much. 🙂

Thanks a lot for this @dansiegel! exactly what I needed
