DropDownList in MVC 4 with Razor

asp.net-mvc, c#, razor

Solution

@{
   List<SelectListItem> listItems= new List<SelectListItem>();
   listItems.Add(new SelectListItem
        {
          Text = "Exemplo1",
          Value = "Exemplo1"
        });
   listItems.Add(new SelectListItem
        {
            Text = "Exemplo2",
            Value = "Exemplo2",
            Selected = true
        });
   listItems.Add(new SelectListItem
        {
            Text = "Exemplo3",
            Value = "Exemplo3"
        });
}

@Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.tipo, listItems, "-- Select Status --")

Problem

I'm trying to create a `DropDownList` on a razor view. Would someone help me with this? Normal HTML5 code: ``` <select id="dropdowntipo"> <option value="Exemplo1">Exemplo1</option> <option value="Exemplo2">Exemplo2</option> <option value="Exemplo3">Exemplo3</option> </select> ``` I tried this: ``` @{ var listItems = new List<ListItem> { new ListItem { Text = "Exemplo1", Value = "Exemplo1" }, new ListItem { Text = "Exemplo2", Value = "Exemplo2" }, new ListItem { Text = "Exemplo3", Value = "Exemplo3" } }; } @Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.tipo, new SelectList(listItems), "-- Select Status --" ) ```
