Using enum for dropdown list in ASP.NET MVC Core

Question

I\'m trying to create a dropdown list with an enum property in ASP.NET MVC Core using the tag helper in a Razor view:

Here is the model:

public class Per         


        

Answer 1

The below was what worked for me. This is necessary and the way it is because the enum itself is a class declared under the scope of the class which you are using as a model.

below my model (work in progress) for reference

 public class Cart
    {
        public int CartId { get; set; }
        public List Orders { get; set; }
        [Required]
        public string UserId { get; set; }
        public DateTime DeliveryDate { get; set; }
        public CartStatus Status { get; set; }
        public enum CartStatus
        {
            Open = 1,
            Confirmed = 2,
            Shipped = 3,
            Received = 4
        }
    }
