        return Enum.GetValues(typeof(UserType)).Cast<UserType>().ToList<UserType>();
    }
}

{
	get;
	set;
}

This is not a question.As this is a lack of understanding you have to start learning .NET properly.

Solution 1

Have a look at this CodeProject article Binding and Using Friendly Enums in WPF[^]

But if you have a query about the code you found then you should direct your questions to the authors[^] of that code

Enum 
    .GetValues(typeof(UserType)) // Get all values of the enum... This will return an array of object
    .Cast<UserType>()            // cast each object to enum UserType - This will return a IEnumerable<UserType>
    .ToList<UserType>();         // Convert the IEnumerable<UserType> to a list of UserTypes

This is pretty basic... It is like asking how to loop
