    <p>Sorry if this is a dup, my searching turned up nothing.</p> <p>I am using the following method to generate drop down lists for enum types (lifted from here: <a href="http://addinit.com/?q=node/54" rel="noreferrer">http://addinit.com/?q=node/54</a>):</p> <pre><code>public static string DropDownList(this HtmlHelper helper, string name, Type type, object selected) { if (!type.IsEnum) throw new ArgumentException("Type is not an enum."); if(selected != null &amp;&amp; selected.GetType() != type) throw new ArgumentException("Selected object is not " + type.ToString()); var enums = new List&lt;SelectListItem&gt;(); foreach (int value in Enum.GetValues(type)) { var item = new SelectListItem(); item.Value = value.ToString(); item.Text = Enum.GetName(type, value); if(selected != null) item.Selected = (int)selected == value; enums.Add(item); } return System.Web.Mvc.Html.SelectExtensions.DropDownList(helper, name, enums, "--Select--"); } </code></pre> <p>It is working fine, except for one thing. If I give the dropdown list the same name as the property on my model the selected value is not set properly. Meaning this works:</p> <pre><code>&lt;%= Html.DropDownList("fam", typeof(EnumFamily), Model.Family)%&gt; </code></pre> <p>But this doesn't:</p> <pre><code>&lt;%= Html.DropDownList("family", typeof(EnumFamily), Model.Family)%&gt; </code></pre> <p>Because I'm trying to pass an entire object directly to the controller method I am posting to, I would <em>really</em> like to have the dropdown list named for the property on the model. When using the "right" name, the dropdown does post correctly, I just can't seem to set the selected value.</p> <p>I don't think this matters but I am running MVC 1 on mono 2.6</p> <p><strong>edit:</strong> I just tested this on windows, and I am seeing the same behavior</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.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
