How can I reuse a DropDownList in several views with .NET MVC

Question

Several views from my project have the same dropdownlist...

So, in the ViewModel from that view I have :

Create object with getter for your dropdown values:

public static class DropDowns
{
    public static List Items { 
       get
       {
           //Return values
       } 
    } 
}

Create Razor partial:

@Html.DropDownListFor(m => "ChoosenItem", DropDowns.Items, "")

Call partial:

@Html.RenderPartial("DropDownItems")

And finally receive ChoosenItem value in controller. Simply.
