OK, I\'ve been Googling for hours and trying everything and can\'t get anything to work. I am learning MVC using Sharp Architecture and have generated some basic forms for c

Answer 1

This is View - MVC Controller

@Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.Entity, new ABC.Models.DropDownPopulate().MyMethod, new { @class = "form-control input-inline input-medium" })

MyMethod Get Data List Bind With Dropdown Using SelectListItems

 public List MyMethod
        {
            get
            {
                List dropdownList = new List();
                var items = new DropDown_Bl().GetAll();
                foreach (var item in items)
                {
                    SelectListItem dropdownItem = new SelectListItem();
                    dropdownItem.Value = item.RnID.ToString();
                    dropdownItem.Text = item.Description;
                    dropdownList.Add(dropdownItem);
                }
                dropdownList.Insert(0, new SelectListItem() { Text = "Please Select", Value = "", Selected = true });
                return dropdownList;
            }
        }

GetAll Method In Dropdown_Bl - Used to get data as list from database

  public List GetAll()
        {
            var Items = _Context.MyRepository.GetMany(q => q.Area == "ASD").ToList();
            return Items ;
        }
