C# int to enum conversion

Is it somehow possible to convert an int to a flag combination enum? So, if

[Flags]
public enum Foo {a = 0x80,
                 b = 0x40,
                 c = ...,
                 ...
                 h = 0x1,
                 i = 0};

is it OK (or somehow possible) to do

Foo fooInstance = (Foo)6;

so that fooInstance would be 00000110?

Thanks!
