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

Could NOT get the option selected in the controller to display on the front end either, so had to resort to setting a temporary hidden input and used jQuery to update on the client side:

@Html.LabelFor(model => model.MyEnum, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })

    @Html.EnumDropDownListFor(model => model.MyEnum, "Select name", new { @class = "form-control" })
    @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.MyEnum, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })

@Html.Hidden("MyEnumTemp", (int)Model.MyEnum)
