Html.DropDownList Selected Value Not Working (Using Constructor with IEnumerable)

Question

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         


        

Answer 1

@Html.DropDownList("NewsItemId",ViewBag.NewsItemId as SelectList, string.Empty,
    new { @class = "form-control" })

change to

@Html.DropDownList("NewsItemId", ViewBag.NewsItemIdList as SelectList, string.Empty, 
    new { @class = "form-control" })

ViewBag.NewsItemIdList name changed. also change in controller.
