GetFields not working on enum type (anymore)

I have a method that takes a type that relates to an enum and then gets
all the Description attributes or the name and returns them in a string
array.
This was working until I added the check to see if the field was a
IsSpecialName as I was getting a value__ field I did not want.
Now, GetFields only ever returns a zero length array.
I cannot see what I have done.

The code is below

TIA

public static string[] GetEnumDescriptions(System.Type EnumType)
{
  string[] ReturnNames = new string[0];
  FieldInfo[] Fields = EnumType.GetFields(BindingFlags.CreateInstance | 
  BindingFlags.Public);
  foreach(FieldInfo Field in Fields)
  {
   if(!Field.IsSpecialName)
   {
    string[] Temp = new string[ReturnNames.Length + 1];
    ReturnNames.CopyTo(Temp, 0);
    ReturnNames = Temp;
    Object[] Atts = 
Field.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(DescriptionAttribute), false);
    DescriptionAttribute Att = Atts.Length != 0 ? Atts[0] as 
DescriptionAttribute : null;
    if(Att != null)
    {
     ReturnNames[ReturnNames.GetUpperBound(0)] = Att.Description;
    }
    else
    {
     ReturnNames[ReturnNames.GetUpperBound(0)] = Field.Name;
    }
   }
  }
  return ReturnNames;
}
