Question

As the question says: How to set selectedValue in DropDownListFor Html helper?

Tried most of the other solutions but none worked that\'s why I am opening a new quest

Answer 1

Make Sure that your return Selection Value is a String and not and int when you declare it in your model.

Example:

public class MyModel
{
    public string TipPopustaId { get; set; }
}
