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

There needs one case for editing case when there is selected option in DropDownList

Using enums with the ASP.NET 5 (MVC 6) Select TagHelper

public enum Gender {
  [Display(Name = "Male")]Male = 1,
  [Display(Name = "Female N")]Female = 2,
  [Display(Name = "Other")]Other = 3 
}

**For Editing Case:

@Html.DropDownListFor(m => m, Html.GetEnumSelectList(typeof(Gender)))
@Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.Gender, Html.GetEnumSelectList()))

@Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.Gender, Html.GetEnumSelectList(), "Select", new { @class = "form-control" })

**For Normal Case:

   Please select




@Html.DropDownList("Gender", Html.GetEnumSelectList(), "Select", new { @class = "form-control" })
