public static List<T> EnumToList<T>()
{
Type enumType = typeof (T);
// Can't use type constraints on value types, so have to do check like this
if (enumType.BaseType != typeof(Enum))
throw new ArgumentException("T must be of type System.Enum");
Array enumValArray = Enum.GetValues(enumType);
List<T> enumValList = new List<T>(enumValArray.Length);
foreach (int val in enumValArray) {
enumValList.Add((T)Enum.Parse(enumType, val.ToString()));

Example
List<DayOfWeek> weekdays =
EnumHelper.EnumToList<DayOfWeek>().FindAll(
delegate (DayOfWeek x)
{
return x != DayOfWeek.Sunday && x != DayOfWeek.Saturday;
});
