    <p>I have an asp.net-mvc website and i am running into an issue where the correct selected item in a dropdown is not being selected. I have the following code on my controller action (simplified to isolate the issue):</p> <pre><code>public ActionResult MyAction() { var vm = GetVM(); var list = new List&lt;INamed&gt; {new NamedInfo() {Id = 1, Name = "Yes"}, new NamedInfo() {Id = 0, Name = "No"}}; vm.YesNoList = SelectListHelper.GenerateDropdownList(vm.IncludesWeekends ? 1 : 0, list); return View(vm); } </code></pre> <p>and here is the definition of GenerateDropdownList </p> <pre><code> public static List&lt;SelectListItem&gt; GenerateDropdownList&lt;T&gt;(int id, IEnumerable&lt;T&gt; list) where T : INamed { List&lt;SelectListItem&gt; dropdown = list.Select(c =&gt; new SelectListItem { Selected = c.Id == id, Text = c.ToString(), Value = c.Id.ToString() }).ToList(); return dropdown; } </code></pre> <p>Below is the code in my HTML view:</p> <pre><code> &lt;% = Html.DropDownList("IncludesWeekends", Model.YesNoList, new { @id = "IncludesWeekends" })%&gt; </code></pre> <p>I expect No to be selected in my example (and it has Selected = true when i put a breakpoint on the server side but when i look at the html that is generated, nothing is selected:</p> <pre><code>&lt;select id="IncludesWeekends" class="autoComplete1" name="IncludesWeekends"&gt; &lt;option value="1"&gt;Yes&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="0"&gt;No&lt;/option&gt; &lt;/select&gt; </code></pre> <p>and "Yes" is selected by default because its teh first item.</p> <p>Any suggestions on what i am doing wrong here or alternatives that work?</p>

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.
