[SalesForce] Display picklist value in Visual force from Apex coding

I want to use the below code to display a custom picklist field's value in a visual force page.
Can you suggest how to link the below code with VF page?

          public List<SelectOption> getTypeOptions(){
           List<SelectOption> options = new List<SelectOption>();
           options.add(new SelectOption('None','--None--'));
           Schema.DescribeFieldResult fieldResult = National_Brand_Strategy__c.Strategy_Description__c.getDescribe();
           List<Schema.PicklistEntry> ple = fieldResult.getPicklistValues();
           for(Schema.PicklistEntry p : ple)
               options.add(new SelectOption(p.getValue(), p.getValue())); 
           return options;
     }

Visulaforce code to bind this list value is as follows – 

     <apex:selectList >
        <apex:selectOptions value="{!options}"/>
    </apex:selectList>

Best Answer

the problem is that you have the code in a function. It has to be a property:

public List<SelectOption> regions
{
    get
    {
        List<SelectOption> options = new List<SelectOption>();
        Schema.DescribeFieldResult fieldResult = Project__c.Division__c.getDescribe();
        List<Schema.PicklistEntry> ple = fieldResult.getPicklistValues();

        for( Schema.PicklistEntry f : ple)
            options.add(new SelectOption(f.getLabel(), f.getValue()));
        return options;
    }
}

Your visual force code is fine, just change your apex code so that it's in a get{ }
