Bind Enum to a DropDown

So, you have an enum defined as follows:

public enum Gender
{
        Male= 0,
        Female= 1
}

Code to Bind the Dropdown

string[] names = Enum.GetNames(typeof(Gender));
var values = (Gender[])Enum.GetValues(typeof(Gender));
for (int i = 0; i < names.Length; i++)
{
      DdlGender.Items.Add(new ListItem(names[i], values[i].ToString()));
}
