I want to pass an enum value as command parameter in WPF, using something like this:

<Button 
    x:Name="uxSearchButton" 
    Command="{Binding Path=SearchMembersCommand}" 
    CommandParameter="SearchPageType.First"
    Content="Search">
</Button>

SearchPageType is an enum and this is to know from which button search command is invoked.

Is this possible in WPF, or how can you pass an enum value as command parameter?

Try this

<Button CommandParameter="{x:Static local:SearchPageType.First}" .../>

local - is your namespace reference in the XAML
