Have a look at this blog entry:

WPF RadioButtons and data binding

Answer 2

I came up with a simple solution.

I have a model.cs class with:

private int _isSuccess;
public int IsSuccess { get { return _isSuccess; } set { _isSuccess = value; } }

I have Window1.xaml.cs file with DataContext set to model.cs. The xaml contains the radiobuttons:

<RadioButton IsChecked="{Binding Path=IsSuccess, Converter={StaticResource radioBoolToIntConverter}, ConverterParameter=1}" Content="one" />
<RadioButton IsChecked="{Binding Path=IsSuccess, Converter={StaticResource radioBoolToIntConverter}, ConverterParameter=2}" Content="two" />
<RadioButton IsChecked="{Binding Path=IsSuccess, Converter={StaticResource radioBoolToIntConverter}, ConverterParameter=3}" Content="three" />

Here is my converter:

public class RadioBoolToIntConverter : IValueConverter
{
    public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
    {
        int integer = (int)value;
        if (integer==int.Parse(parameter.ToString()))
            return true;
        else
            return false;
    }

    public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
    {
        return parameter;
    }
}

And of course, in Window1's resources:

<Window.Resources>
    <local:RadioBoolToIntConverter x:Key="radioBoolToIntConverter" />
</Window.Resources>

Please look at the solution Binding IsChecked property of RadioButton in WPF, it works like a charm: http://pstaev.blogspot.com/2008/10/binding-ischecked-property-of.html.

The original problem has been fixed for WPF 4.0!
