ASP.NET MVC dropdownlist

Question

Can someone point me to an article that shows the dropdownlist being populated from linq to sql (text and value being set).

Thanks Danny

Here's one great article by Rob Connery

Controller Code

NorthwindDataContext db = new NorthwindDataContext();
var categories = from c in db.Categories select c;
ViewData["CategoryID"] = new SelectList(categories, "CategoryID", "CategoryName");

View Markup

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