Create DropDownListFor from SelectList with default value

Question

I have a dropdownlistfor:

 @Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.Item.Item.Status, new SelectList(@Model.AllStatus, \"id\", \"Description\"),          


        

Answer 1

You can use "Insert" for adding default value of Dropdown and add it to your Dynamic list : By this way you don't need to use Razor in your View.

List m = X.GetList();
m.Insert(0, new Y{ Name = "--Select--" });
