Answer 1

var list = from s in db.List
           orderby s.Descript
           select new SelectListItem
           {
               Text = s.Descript,
               Value = s.ID.ToString(),
               Selected = (s.ID == ID)
           };

list.Insert(0, new SelectListItem { Text = "Please Select...", Value = string.Empty });
return list;
