    <p>I have a model named Program. Each program will have a telecast schedule as described below. </p> <pre><code>enum SchduleEnum { Daily = 0, Weekly, Monthly }; </code></pre> <p>Each program can have a category like “News” , “Movie”, “Discussion”. </p> <p>In the Program Scheduling view, users must be able to select the schedule from a dropdown. However, there should be default values in the schedule dropdown. The rule is that the default schedule should be “Daily” if it is “news” category. The default schedule should be “Weekly” if the category is “Movie”. The default schedule should be “Monthly” if category is “Discussion”.</p> <p>I have the following code which shows blank as default value in schedule dropdown. How do we modify the code to show required default values based on the rules defined above?</p> <p>Based on MVC principle: <code>The UI logic belongs in the view. Input logic belongs in the controller. Business logic belongs in the model.</code></p> <ol> <li><p>How do we achieve it in quick way?</p></li> <li><p>How do we achieve it standard way (following MVC principle listed above)</p></li> </ol> <p>CODE</p> <pre><code>public class Program { public int ProgramID { get; set; } public string ProgramName { get; set; } public int ScheduleID { get; set; } public string ProgramCategory { get; set; } } </code></pre> <p>CONTROLLER</p> <pre><code>namespace MyDefaultValueTEST.Controllers { public class MyProgramController : Controller { enum SchduleEnum { Daily = 0, Weekly, Monthly }; List&lt;Program&gt; programList = new List&lt;Program&gt;() { new Program { ProgramID = 1,ProgramName = "Program1", ProgramCategory = "News" }, new Program { ProgramID = 2,ProgramName = "Program2", ProgramCategory = "Movie" }, new Program { ProgramID = 3,ProgramName = "Program3", ProgramCategory = "Discussion" } }; public ActionResult ScheduleProgram() { ViewBag.ScheudleEnum = GetSchduleSelectList(); return View(programList); } public static SelectList GetSchduleSelectList() { Array values = Enum.GetValues(typeof(SchduleEnum)); List&lt;System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListItem&gt; items = new List&lt;System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListItem&gt;(values.Length); foreach (var i in values) { items.Add(new System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListItem { Text = Enum.GetName(typeof(SchduleEnum), i), Value = ((int)i).ToString() } ); } return new SelectList(items); } } } </code></pre> <p>VIEW</p> <pre><code>@model IEnumerable&lt;MyDefaultValueTEST.Program&gt; @{ ViewBag.Title = "ScheduleProgram"; } &lt;h2&gt;ScheduleProgram&lt;/h2&gt; @using (Html.BeginForm()) { &lt;table&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;th style="border:1px solid Teal; background-color:Gray"&gt; ProgramName &lt;/th&gt; &lt;th style="border:1px solid Teal; background-color:Gray"&gt; ProgramCategory &lt;/th&gt; &lt;th style="border:1px solid Teal; background-color:Gray"&gt; &lt;/th&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; @Html.EditorForModel() &lt;/table&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;input type="submit" value="Save Schedules" /&gt; &lt;/p&gt; } </code></pre> <p>EDITOR TEMPLATE(Program.cshtml)</p> <pre><code>@model MyDefaultValueTEST.Program &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td style="border:1px solid Teal"&gt; @Html.EditorFor(x =&gt; x.ProgramName) &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="border:1px solid Teal"&gt; @Html.EditorFor(x =&gt; x.ProgramCategory) &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="border:1px solid Teal"&gt; @Html.DropDownListFor(x =&gt; x.ScheduleID, (SelectList)ViewBag.ScheudleEnum, String.Empty) &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; @Html.HiddenFor(x =&gt; x.ProgramID) &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>READING</strong></p> <ol> <li><p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4579598/c-sharp-mvc-3-using-selectlist-with-selected-value-in-view">C# mvc 3 using selectlist with selected value in view</a></p></li> <li><p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6807256/dropdownlist-set-selected-value-in-mvc3-razor">dropdownlist set selected value in MVC3 Razor</a></p></li> <li><p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4674033/mvc-3-layout-page-razor-template-and-dropdownlist">MVC 3 Layout Page, Razor Template, and DropdownList</a></p></li> <li><p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7229626/dropdownlistfor-default-value">DropdownListFor default value</a></p></li> <li><p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8081335/html-dropdownlist-not-retaining-the-selected-value">Html.dropdownlist not retaining the selected value</a></p></li> <li><p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1398196/getting-values-from-an-asp-net-mvc-dropdownlist">Getting values from an asp.net mvc dropdownlist</a></p></li> <li><p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2167166/asp-net-mvc-viewmodel-and-dropdownlist">ASP.NET MVC ViewModel and DropDownList</a></p></li> <li><p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1155061/dropdown-value-null-when-using-viewmodel-modelbinder-in-asp-net-mvc">dropdown value null when using, viewmodel &amp; modelbinder in asp.net mvc</a> </p></li> <li><p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/607188/support-for-optgroup-in-dropdownlist-net-mvc">Support for optgroup in dropdownlist .NET MVC?</a></p></li> </ol>

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).
