Get the text from Html.DropdownListFor…MVC3

Question

I have a model:

public class DocumentModel
{
    public int TypeID { get; set; }
    public List DocumentTypes { get; set; }
}

Answer 1

On your model I would have another string -

public string Selected{ get; set; }

then in your view :

@Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.Selected, new SelectList(Model.DocumentTypes, "Value", "Text"))
