How to set the selected value in EnumDropDownListFor?

Question

I\'m using MVC 5.2.0 and I\'m trying to use the new Html.EnumDropDownListFor. This is how I\'m setting the values:

//Model
public class MyModel          


        

Answer 1

As far as I know just make sure the value you want to be selected is set in your Model before you call

//Controller:
...
myModel.TestEnum = TestEnum.name2;
...

//On your view
...
@Html.EnumDropDownListFor(model => model.TestEnum);
...
