    <p>I had a similar situation where I needed to pass a third value to each of the list items to determine the action to take in a jQuery function. Here is my solution (which will allow you to add any number of attributes to each item in the drop down):</p> <p>First, I created a SelectListItemWithAttributes class as follows:</p> <pre><code> public class SelectListItemWithAttributes : SelectListItem { public IDictionary&lt;string, string&gt; HtmlAttributes { get; set; } } </code></pre> <p>This allows me to create items for the select list with the extra attributes attached.</p> <p>Second, I created an HTML helper method called DropDownListWithItemAttributesFor as follows:</p> <pre><code>public static MvcHtmlString DropDownListWithItemAttributesFor&lt;TModel, TValue&gt;(this HtmlHelper&lt;TModel&gt; htmlHelper, Expression&lt;Func&lt;TModel, TValue&gt;&gt; expression, IEnumerable&lt;SelectListItemWithAttributes&gt; selectList) { string name = htmlHelper.ViewContext.ViewData.TemplateInfo.GetFullHtmlFieldName(ExpressionHelper.GetExpressionText(expression)); var selectDoc = XDocument.Parse(htmlHelper.DropDownList(name, (IEnumerable&lt;SelectListItem&gt;)selectList).ToString()); var options = from XElement el in selectDoc.Element("select").Descendants() select el; for (int i = 0; i &lt; options.Count(); i++){ var option = options.ElementAt(i); var attributes = selectList.ElementAt(i); foreach (var attribute in attributes.HtmlAttributes){ option.SetAttributeValue(attribute.Key, attribute.Value); } } selectDoc.Root.ReplaceNodes(options.ToArray()); return MvcHtmlString.Create(selectDoc.ToString()); } </code></pre> <p>This allows me to create a drop down using the new SelectListWithAttributes class as the attributes. Basically, it creates the HTML for the drop down list, parses it into an XML document, then adds any items in the HtmlAttributes array as additional attributes to each item in the drop down.</p> <p>Third, in my ViewModel code I have the following:</p> <pre><code>private List&lt;SelectListItemWithAttributes&gt; pDropDownDatas = null; public List&lt;SelectListItemWithAttributes&gt; DropDownDatas { get { var DropDownDataItems = ( from c in db.GetDropDownDataList(1, 1000) where c.AccountTypeID == this.AccountTypeID select new SelectListItemWithAttributes() { Text = c.Title, Value = c.ID.ToString(), HtmlAttributes = new Dictionary&lt;string, string&gt; { { "data-callback", c.RequiresCallback.ToString().ToLower() } } } ).ToList() ; DropDownDataItems.Insert(0, new SelectListItemWithAttributes() { Text = "-- Select --", Value = "", HtmlAttributes = new Dictionary&lt;string, string&gt; { { "data-callback", "false" } } }); return DropDownDataItems; } } </code></pre> <p>This builds the list of SelectListItemsWithAttributes that are going to ultimately populate the dropdown. This could be in a controller instead of the viewmodel, I just elected to make it a property of my viewmodel.</p> <p>Lastly, in the view it would look like this:</p> <pre><code>@Html.DropDownListWithItemAttributesFor(m =&gt; m.DropDownDataID, Model.DropDownDatas) </code></pre> <p>This will display the drop down on the page using the property from the viewmodel that contains the list of SelectListItemsWithAttributes.</p> <p>I constructed this solution from various solutions that I found on the internet, so it wasn't all original to me, but I put it together into something that worked for me.</p> <p>Hope this will help you solve your issue.</p>

    1. COI assume you're parsing the original Helper's output to avoid creating your own TagBuilder and rewriting all the magic that normally occurs?

    2. CO@drzaus - yes this line does that: var selectDoc = XDocument.Parse(htmlHelper.DropDownList(name, (IEnumerable<SelectListItem>)selectList).ToString());

    3. COThis is wonderful. However, using GetFullHtmlFieldName ended up creating the DropDownList with double prefixes, i.e. "ModelName_ModelName_MemberName". I had to change the string name line to just: string name = ExpressionHelper.GetExpressionText(expression);

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
