Topic: Selected item is not choose in dropdownlist
I'm learning mvc and have a problem.
I have made a Edit view, when using a @HtmlEditorFor the gender sais either Male or Female. But when using a DropDownList it's sais select Gender.
What do I miss in the code, so the value for Gender is the selected from the db?
@Html.LabelFor(model => model.Gender, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })
@Html.DropDownList("Gender", new List { new SelectListItem{ Text = "Male", Value="Male"}, new SelectListItem{ Text = "Female", Value="Female"} }, "select Gender" ) @Html.EditorFor(model => model.Gender, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } }) @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Gender, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
