Answer 1

How about a little reflection? Should work with all underlying types.

public static class EnumTools
{
    public static string ToRawValueString(this Enum e)
    {
        return e
            .GetType()
            .GetFields(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Static)
            .First(f => f.Name==e.ToString())
            .GetRawConstantValue()
            .ToString();
    }
}

Then:

Console.WriteLine(Urgency.High.ToRawValueString()); //Writes "2"
