SelectListItem with data-attributes

Question

Is there anyway to have a SelectList prepopulated on ViewModel with data-attributes ?

I want to do

@Html.DropdownListFor(m=> m.CityId, Model.Citi         


        

Answer 1

You'll have to extend SelectListItem, and then extend DropDownListFor to use the extended SelectListItem.

Have a look at this solution:

Adding html class tag under in Html.DropDownList
