C# numeric enum value as string

Question

I have the following enum:

public enum Urgency {
    VeryHigh = 1,
    High     = 2,
    Routine  = 4
}

I can fetch an enum "value" as string like this:

((int)Urgency.Routine).ToString() // returns "4"

Note: This is different from:

Urgency.Routine.ToString() // returns "Routine"
(int)Urgency.Routine       // returns 4

Is there a way I can create an extension class, or a static utliity class, that would provide some syntactical sugar? :)

a simple approach

((Urgency)4).ToString() // returns "Routine"
