Cast it to its base type, the great thing about this is it tells you when there are duplicate values present.

[Flags]
public enum BuildingBlocks_Property_Reflection_Filters
{
    None=0,
    Default=2,
    BackingField=4,
    StringAssignment=8,
    Base=16,
    External=32,
    List=64,
    Local=128,
}

switch ((int)incomingFilter)
{
    case (int)PropFilter.Default:
        break;
    case (int)PropFilter.BackingField:
        break;
    case (int)PropFilter.StringAssignment:
        break;
    case (int)PropFilter.Base:
        break;
    case (int)PropFilter.External:
        break;
    case (int)PropFilter.List:
        break;
    case (int)PropFilter.Local:
        break;
    case (int)(PropFilter.Local | PropFilter.Default):
        break;

}
