I can only get the selected value to be selected on an MVC view when I use the ViewData object. If I try to bind directly to a property on my model which returns an Ienumerable it won't render the Selected tag into the html.
I am at a loss on this one.
Note: I do pass a strongly typed value to the View so my orginal binding was Model.Statuses where statuses is a property on my strongly typed model.
