    <p>When I have a list of values that wont change I usualy use an Enum and then use a custom Html Helper to render out a select list. You can customzie the display text of the enum values by using meta data description markup.</p> <p>That way you can just use:</p> <pre><code> &lt;%: Html.EnumDropDownListFor(model =&gt; model.EnuProperty) %&gt; </code></pre> <p>or</p> <pre><code> @Html.EnumDropDownListFor(model =&gt; model.EnuProperty) </code></pre> <p>Check out this post by Simon which allows you to use the Meta Description attribute to customzie the output for Enum names:</p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/388483/how-do-you-create-a-dropdownlist-from-an-enum-in-asp-net-mvc">How do you create a dropdownlist from an enum in ASP.NET MVC?</a></p> <p>Here is another example but it lacks the meta description property:</p> <p><a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/b/stuartleeks/archive/2010/05/21/asp-net-mvc-creating-a-dropdownlist-helper-for-enums.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/stuartleeks/archive/2010/05/21/asp-net-mvc-creating-a-dropdownlist-helper-for-enums.aspx</a></p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p> <p>Your enum might look something like this</p> <pre><code> public enum ChargeGroupEnum { [Description("Administration")] Administration=1, [Description("Annual Leave")] AnnualLeave=2, [Description("Bereavement")] Bereavement=3, [Description("Customer Installation, Setup &amp; Training")] CustomerInstallation=4, [Description("Customer Support")] CustomerSupport=5, [Description("Internal Training &amp; Education")] InternalTraining=6, [Description("Sales &amp; Marketing")] SalesMarketing=7, [Description("Sick")] Sick=8, [Description("Software Devel / Maint / Test")] Development=9, [Description("Software Upgrade / Patch")] Upgrade=10, [Description("Other")] Other=11, [Description("Other Absence")] OtherAbsence=12, [Description("Warranty")] Warranty=13, [Description("Public Holiday")] PublicHoliday=14, [Description(")ther Paid Leave")] OtherPaidLeave=15 } </code></pre> <p>And then on your View Model you could use the following to make the field start with no value and REQUIRE a value:</p> <pre><code> [Required(ErrorMessage=" * required")] public ChargeGroupEnum? ChargeGroup {get;set;} </code></pre> <p>And then in your view you would use the Html Helper "ChargeGroupEnum" which you'll need to get from the post I linked to.</p> <pre><code> @Html.EnumDropDownListFor(model =&gt; Model.ChargeGroup) </code></pre> <p>If your model has an Int, you can easly go from Enum => Int and Int => Enum with casting.</p>

    2. COI've updated the example to include how to call a Html Helper from Razor. The logic doesn't change, you use it just like you would use any of the other helper methods in MVC (Html, Url, etc).

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.

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