You can use this extension method on enum, for any type of enums:

public static bool IsSingle(this Enum value)
{
    var items = Enum.GetValues(value.GetType());
    var counter = 0;
    foreach (var item in items)
    {
        if (value.HasFlag((Enum)item))
        {
            counter++;
        }
        if (counter > 1)
        {
            return false;
        }
    }
    return true;
}
