Iterating through an enumeration in Silverlight?

Question

In .Net it is possible to iterate through an enumeration by using

System.Enum.GetNames(typeof(MyEnum))  

or

System.Enum.GetValues(typeof(MyEnum)) 

In Silverlight 3 however, Enum.GetNames and Enum.GetValues are not defined. Does anyone know an alternative?

Or maybe strongly typed using linq, like this:

    public static T[] GetEnumValues<T>()     {         var type = typeof(T);         if (!type.IsEnum)             throw new ArgumentException("Type '" + type.Name + "' is not an enum");          return (           from field in type.GetFields(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Static)           where field.IsLiteral           select (T)field.GetValue(null)         ).ToArray();     }      public static string[] GetEnumStrings<T>()     {         var type = typeof(T);         if (!type.IsEnum)             throw new ArgumentException("Type '" + type.Name + "' is not an enum");          return (           from field in type.GetFields(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Static)           where field.IsLiteral           select field.Name         ).ToArray();     }
