bind enum to Combobox On CUSTOM CONTROL

Question

I have a Custom control in WPF and I need to bind a comboBox on it to an enum I wrote,

searching on the web I found that this is the way to go:

<ObjectDataProvider MethodName="GetDict" ObjectType="{x:Type App:EnumDescriptionValueDict}" x:Key="EnumDescriptionDict"> <ObjectDataProvider.MethodParameters> <x:Type TypeName="App:Transmission"></x:Type> </ObjectDataProvider.MethodParameters> </ObjectDataProvider> <ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource EnumDescriptionDict}}" DisplayMemberPath="Key" SelectedValuePath="Value"/>

but my control XAML

<UserControl x:Class="WpfControlFoo.UserControl1" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" mc:Ignorable="d" Width="799" Height="107">

so I don't find a place to insert the ObjectDataProvider XAML

Thanks for the suggestions :)

You can use Resources as suggested in comments.

full XAML:

<UserControl x:Class="WpfControlFoo.UserControl1" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" xmlns:App="myNamespaceWhereTheEnumIsLocated" mc:Ignorable="d" Width="799" Height="107"> <UserControl.Resources> <ObjectDataProvider MethodName="GetDict" ObjectType="{x:Type App:EnumDescriptionValueDict}" x:Key="EnumDescriptionDict"> <ObjectDataProvider.MethodParameters> <x:Type TypeName="App:Transmission"></x:Type> </ObjectDataProvider.MethodParameters> </ObjectDataProvider> </UserControl.Resources> <ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource EnumDescriptionDict}}" DisplayMemberPath="Key" SelectedValuePath="Value"/> </UserControl>

And just to add to @Mat answer, App: is the namespace where you public enum is located.
