In my MVC 3 Razor app, I have a Model with an enum..

Model Example:

public class EmployeeModel
{
 public enum Title
 {
  Accountant = 111,
  Sales =

    I just stumbled on this StackO question/answer - not only is my question here an exact duplicate, but the answer given by Mike McLaughlin is the best solution I've seen for using DropdownListFor<> with Enums. Specifically, Mike points us to a solution that he found by Morgan Leroi

    Morgan's quick solution is:

    @Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.State, new SelectList(Enum.GetValues(typeof(MyNamespace.Enums.States))))
    

    But, Morgan has made an Extension that makes the implementation of the DropDownListFor<> with enums even more compact. You can download Morgan's Visual Studio Solution here.

    That said, I think we should close this question as it's an exact duplicate.

    You could possibly get a String[] with the names of the enum values and create a dropdown from that. In your view model, add a property Titles of type SelectListItem and add the enum values and names to that. You can get the names and values through the System.Enum type.

    var defaultItem = new SelectListItem();
    defaultItem.Value = -1;
    defaultItem.Text = "Choose a title";
    defaultItem.Selected = true;
    model.TitleSelectItems.add(defaultItem);
    
    String[] names = System.Enum.GetNames(typeof(Title));
    Int[] values = System.Enum.GetValues(typeof(Title));
    
    for (int i = 0; i<names.Length; i++)
    {
        var item = new SelectListItem();
        item.Text = names[i];
        item.Value = values[i];
        model.TitleSelectItems.Add(item);
    }
    

    It's kind of ugly, but it'll work.

    Here's a way using Html Helpers:

    Model

    public class Person
    {
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public JobTitle Job { get; set; }
        public enum JobTitle
        {
            Accountant = 111,
            Sales = 222,
            Production = 333
        }
    }
    

    View

    @model MvcApplication1.Models.Person
    
    @{
        ViewBag.Title = "Index";
    }
    
    @using (Html.BeginForm())
    {
        @Html.TextBoxFor(n => n.Name)
        @Html.DropDownListFor(c => c.Job, new[]{
            new SelectListItem() {Text = MvcApplication1.Models.Person.JobTitle.Accountant.ToString(), 
                Value=((int)MvcApplication1.Models.Person.JobTitle.Accountant).ToString()}
            ,new SelectListItem() {Text = MvcApplication1.Models.Person.JobTitle.Production.ToString(), 
                Value=((int)MvcApplication1.Models.Person.JobTitle.Production).ToString()}
            ,new SelectListItem() {Text = MvcApplication1.Models.Person.JobTitle.Sales.ToString(),
                Value=((int)MvcApplication1.Models.Person.JobTitle.Sales).ToString()}}
                , "Choose a Job Title")                               
    }
    

    HTML Output

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <head>
        <title>Index</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <form action="/" method="post">
    <input id="Name" name="Name" type="text" value="" />
    <select id="Job" name="Job">
    <option value="">Choose a Job Title</option>
    <option value="111">Accountant</option>
    <option value="333">Production</option>
    <option value="222">Sales</option>
    </select>
    </form>
    </body>
    </html>

    An encapsulated HTML Helper Extension is available here :

    the source code snapshot:

    enter image description here

    You can download the full source code of the project from the link.

    I solved it with this extension:

    public static SelectList ToSelectListWithDefault<TEnum>(this TEnum enumObj, string defValue, string defText) where TEnum : IConvertible
    {
        var values = new List<SelectListItem>();
        var defItem = new SelectListItem() { Value = defValue, Text = defText };
        values.Add(defItem);
        foreach (TEnum e in Enum.GetValues(typeof(TEnum)))
        {
            values.Add(new SelectListItem() { Value = e.ToInt16(null).ToString(), Text = e.ToString() });
        }
    
        return new SelectList(values, "Value", "Text", defItem);
    }   
    

    (I found the extension on SO, but without the default value)

    Here is the solution

    public enum Months
    {
    January=1,
    February=2,
    March=3,
    April =4,
    May=5,
    June=6
    }
    
    public ActionResult Index()
    {
    
    ViewBag.Months = (from Months m in Enum.GetValues(typeof(Months))
                    select new SelectListItem { Text = m.ToString(), Value = Convert.ToUInt16(m).ToString() });
    
    return View();  
    }
    

    Add ViewBag name in DropDownList :

    <%=Html.DropDownList("Months") %>
