You can get the list of all available values (options) using the code below. Note the values enum is generated only for picklist type, not for the multi picklist type. 


/// <summary> 
/// Return the multi select options from an objects schema 
/// </summary> 

public void
GetMulitSelectPicklistValues() 
{ 
	SalesforceSession salesforceSession = SessionTest.GetActiveSession(); 
	AccountService accountService = new AccountService(salesforceSession); 
	FieldService accountFieldService = FieldService.Instance(Account.SFType, salesforceSession); 
	
	// use a string to retrieve the list
	SalesforceField multiSelectList = accountFieldService.FieldFromObject("S4S__Multi_Select_List__c"); 


	// or use the object attributes to retrieve the list
	SalesforceField ratingField = accountFieldService.FieldFromObject(Account.Fields.Rating);

	foreach (PicklistEntry picklistEntry in multiSelectList.picklistValues)
	{ 
		System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(picklistEntry.label);
	} 
}
