How to use a ViewBag to create a dropdownlist?

Question

{
    ViewBag.Accounts = BusinessLayer.AccountManager.Instance.getUserAccounts(HttpContext.User.Identity.Name);
             


        

Answer 1

hope it will work

 @Html.DropDownList("accountid", (IEnumerable<SelectListItem>)ViewBag.Accounts, String.Empty, new { @class ="extra-class" })

Here String.Empty will be the empty as a default selector.
