copied!<p>Here is an option you can consider, although it does not use Breeze at all :-(, I haven't adopted breeze yet so not sure how it can aid us here.</p> <p>This sample uses a standard WebAPI controller to populate a list of timezones into a dropdown list on a knockout V/VM.</p> <p>The controller:</p> <pre><code>public class LookupController : ApiController { public IEnumerable GetTimezones() { return TimeZoneInfo.GetSystemTimeZones().Select(tz => new {tz.Id, tz.DisplayName}).ToArray(); } } </code></pre> <p>The output from the controller (sorry for the formatting, but it's basically Id, Name pairs, much like your categories list):</p> <blockquote> <p>[{ Id: "Dateline Standard Time", DisplayName: "(UTC-12:00) International Date Line West" }, { Id: "UTC-11", DisplayName: "(UTC-11:00) Co-ordinated Universal Time-11" }, { Id: "Hawaiian Standard Time", DisplayName: "(UTC-10:00) Hawaii" }, { Id: "Alaskan Standard Time", DisplayName: "(UTC-09:00) Alaska" }, { Id: "Pacific Standard Time (Mexico)", DisplayName: "(UTC-08:00) Baja California" }, { Id: "Pacific Standard Time", DisplayName: "(UTC-08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada)" }, { Id: "US Mountain Standard Time", DisplayName: "(UTC-07:00) Arizona" }, .... etc</p> </blockquote> <p>Snippet from the view model:</p> <pre><code>$.ajax({ url: '/api/lookup/timezones', context: this }).done(function(result) { // load timezones timezones(result); // timezones is a ko.observableArray // set the default time zone timezone('Eastern Standard Time'); // timezone is a ko.observable }); </code></pre> <p>The view:</p> <pre><code><select class="span6" data-bind="options: timezones, optionsText: 'DisplayName', optionsValue: 'Id', value: timezone"></select> </code></pre> <p>This gives me a dropdown on my form populated by objects from the server.</p>
