copied!<p>Ok, I solved it. Proper hacky, but it gets the job done.</p> <p>I'm using the ViewData in my view:</p> <pre><code> <%: Html.DropDownList("bankBranchCountrySelectList", ViewData["bankBranchCountrySelectList"] as SelectList)%> </code></pre> <p>With the following in my controller:</p> <pre><code> public ActionResult Edit(Guid id, int sectionIndex) { IConsultantRegistration consultantRegistration = ConsultantRegistrationRepository.GetConsultantRegistration(id); ViewData["bankBranchCountrySelectList"] = Countries.Select(q => new SelectListItem() { Text = q.Name, Value = q.Name, Selected = (q.Name.Trim().Equals(consultantRegistration.BankBranchCountry, StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase)) }); // bankBranchCountriesSelectList; return View(new ConsultantRegistrationFormViewModel(consultantRegistration,sectionIndex, Countries,Currencies)); } [AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)] public ActionResult Edit(Guid id, int sectionIndex, FormCollection formValues) { IConsultantRegistration consultantRegistration = ConsultantRegistrationRepository.GetConsultantRegistration(id); UpdateModel(consultantRegistration); ViewData["bankBranchCountrySelectList"] = Countries.Select(q => new SelectListItem() { Text = q.Name, Value = q.Name, Selected = (q.Name.Trim().Equals(consultantRegistration.BankBranchCountry, StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase)) }); IEnumerable<RuleViolation> ruleViolations = consultantRegistration.GetRuleViolations(sectionIndex); if (ruleViolations.Count() == 0) { // ... } else { ModelState.AddRuleViolations(ruleViolations); return View(new ConsultantRegistrationFormViewModel(consultantRegistration, sectionIndex, Countries, Currencies)); } } </code></pre> <p>Not ideal and breaks clean coding. No idea why it works, but that seems to be what MVC is all about with "convention over configuration".</p>

An individual column
