In this solution you can bind the value as well as  name.

foreach (Gender gender in Enum.GetValues(typeof(Gender)))  
{  
ListItem item = new ListItem(Enum.GetName(typeof(Gender),  
                                                                     gender ), ((int)gender).ToString("D"));  
ddlGender.Items.Add(item); 
}
