Binding DropDownList into MVC View

Question

Reading from here: ASP.NET MVC

Action SelectCategory has been created inside controller -

 public ActionResult SelectCategory() {

              


        

Answer 1

while binding you list to DropDown you need to type cast it to IEnumerable as you use @Html.DropDown control which is not strongly type with Model

In View

@Html.DropDownList("MovieType",(IEnumerable)ViewBag.MovieType) 

and for another way if you bind IdList then

@Html.DropDownList("IdList",(IEnumerable)ViewBag.IdList)
