Dynamically bind data to dropdownlist in asp.net mvc

Question

Hi,

How to dynamically bind data to <%Html.Dropdownlist.... in asp.net MVC?

Regards, Ambika

Answer 1

Just pass the correct IEnumerable as the typed model or ViewData. Try something like this (out of my head):

<%= Html.DropDownList(string.Empty, 
    "myDropDownList",  
    new SelectList((IEnumerable)ViewData["stuff"], 
        "DescriptionProperty", 
        "ValueProperty")) 
%>

With that drop down list helper in MVC, you do not really "bind" data to it in the way it is done in the old ASP.NET.
