There is no ViewData item of type 'IEnumerable' that has the key country

Question

While binding dropdown in MVC, I always get this error: There is no ViewData item of type \'IEnumerable\' that has the key country.

Answer 1

Note that a select list is posted as null, hence your error complains that the viewdata property cannot be found.

Always reinitialize your select list within a POST action.

For further explanation: Persist SelectList in model on Post
