copied!<p>Actually, you just have to pass in <strong><code>null</code></strong> for the <code>Html.DropDownList()</code>.<br /> I was having the same exact problem, and used the Reflector to look at the MVC Source Code.</p> <p>In the <code>System.Web.Mvc.Extensions.SelectExtensions</code> class's <code>SelectInternal()</code> method, it checks whether the <strong>selectList</strong> parameter is <strong>null</strong> or not. If it is passed in as <code>null</code>, it looks up the <code>SelectList</code> properly.</p> <p>Here is the "Code-behind".</p> <pre><code>ViewData["MyDropDown"] = new SelectList(selectListItems, "Value", "Text", selectedValue.ToString() ); </code></pre> <p>Here is the HTML view code.</p> <pre><code><%= Html.DropDownList("MyDropDown", null, "** Please Select **", new { @class = "my-select-css-class" } ) %> </code></pre> <p>Note: I'm using ASP.NET MVC 2.0 (Beta Version).</p> <h2>UPDATE NOTE: January 31st 2012</h2> <p>After extensively using ASP.NET MVC for the past 3 years, I prefer using <strong><code>additionalViewData</code></strong> from the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/ff406462.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>Html.EditorFor()</code> method</a> more. </p> <p>Pass in your <strong>[List Items]</strong> as an <code>anonymous</code> object with the <strong>same property name</strong> as the Model's property into the <code>Html.EditorFor()</code> method. </p> <pre><code><%= Html.EditorFor( m => m.MyPropertyName, new { MyPropertyName = Model.ListItemsForMyPropertyName } ) %> </code></pre> <p>If you want more details, please refer to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4087815/how-to-pass-data-to-the-view-in-mvc-asp-net/4099487#4099487">my answer in another thread here</a>.</p>
