How to use MVC Html Helper .DropDownListFor<> with an Enum

Question

In my MVC 3 Razor app, I have a Model with an enum..

Model Example:

public class EmployeeModel
{
 public enum Title
 {
  Accountant = 111,
  Sales =          


        

Answer 1

Here is the solution

public enum Months
{
January=1,
February=2,
March=3,
April =4,
May=5,
June=6
}

public ActionResult Index()
{

ViewBag.Months = (from Months m in Enum.GetValues(typeof(Months))
                select new SelectListItem { Text = m.ToString(), Value = Convert.ToUInt16(m).ToString() });

return View();  
}

Add ViewBag name in DropDownList :

<%=Html.DropDownList("Months") %>
