ASP.NET MVC Dropdown List From SelectList

Question

I am building the following SelectList in my controller.

var u = new NewUser();

u.UserTypeOptions = new SelectList(new List

        

Answer 1

Just try this in razor

@{
    var selectList = new SelectList(
        new List
        {
            new SelectListItem {Text = "Google", Value = "Google"},
            new SelectListItem {Text = "Other", Value = "Other"},
        }, "Value", "Text");
}

and then

@Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.YourFieldName, selectList, "Default label", new { @class = "css-class" })

or

@Html.DropDownList("ddlDropDownList", selectList, "Default label", new { @class = "css-class" })
