MVC DropDownList SelectedValue not displaying correctly

Question

I tried searching and didn\'t find anything that fixed my problem. I have a DropDownList on a Razor view that will not show the the item that I have marked as Selected in th

Answer 1

My solution was this... Where the current selected item is the ProjectManagerID.

View:

@Html.DropDownList("ProjectManagerID", Model.DropDownListProjectManager, new { @class = "form-control" })

Model:

public class ClsDropDownCollection
{
   public List DropDownListProjectManager { get; set; }
   public Guid ProjectManagerID { get; set; }
}

Generate dropdown:

public List ProjectManagerDropdown()
{
    List dropDown = new List();
    SelectListItem listItem = new SelectListItem();

    List tempList = bc.GetAllProductManagers();           

    foreach (ClsProjectManager item in tempList)
    {
        listItem = new SelectListItem();
        listItem.Text = item.ProjectManagerName;
        listItem.Value = item.ProjectManagerID.ToString();
        dropDown.Add(listItem);
    }
    return dropDown;
}
