Converting an Enum to a list

I have an enum defined as

public enum SecurityRole
{
    Admin = 0,
    ViewLog = 1,
    DeleteLog = 2
}

and want to use the technique described here to get a List<SecurityRole>.

Thus the line 

var lst = Enum.GetValues(typeof(SecurityRole)).Cast<SecurityRole>().ToList();

should work, but IntelliSense wont allow the .ToList property

I am using System.Linq. Is there some other reference I need?

using System.Linq should do it. ToList() is an IEnumerable<T> extension method. Probably check if you have any other compilation errors in your code.
