You could also go the other way around and convert the enum to int for the Value using a custom Markup Extension.

Example

EnumToIntExtension

public class EnumToIntExtension : MarkupExtension
{
    public object EnumValue
    {
        get;
        set;
    }
    public EnumToIntExtension(object enumValue)
    {
        this.EnumValue = enumValue;
    } 
    public override object ProvideValue(IServiceProvider provider)
    {
        if (EnumValue != null && EnumValue is Enum)
        {
            return System.Convert.ToInt32(EnumValue);
        }
        return -1;
    }
}
