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

you use Gender to asp-items="Html.GetEnumSelectList -GenderType- ()" instead of GenderType

such as asp-items="Html.GetEnumSelectList -Gender- ()"

Answer 2

I think you accidentally used GenderType instead of Gender. The correct syntax is

<select asp-for="GenderType" asp-items="Html.GetEnumSelectList<Gender>()">
    <option selected="selected" value="">Please select</option>
</select>
