I have an issue where the selected value is not working for the Html.DropDownList helper method. See below:
This is My Controller:
public ActionResult Ed
I did not like the fact that you can use
@Html.DropDownList("NewsItemID")
and it works. Then you need to add the 'class' attribute and suddenly it breaks. I saw one place working and another not working using the syntax
@Html.DropDownList("NewsItemId",ViewBag.NewsItemId as SelectList, string.Empty,
new { @class = "form-control" })
When I researched this, I determined the ViewBag.NewsItemId was actually a null in the view. So a working syntax, with the Model and ViewBag fields having the same name is
@Html.DropDownList("NewsItemId", null, string.Empty,
new { @class = "form-control" })
