How do you create a dropdownlist from an enum in ASP.NET MVC?
- by Kevin Pang
I'm trying to use the Html.DropDownList extension method but can't figure out how to use it with an enumeration.
Let's say I have an enumeration like this:
public enum ItemTypes
{
Movie = 1,
Game = 2,
Book = 3
}
How do I go about creating a dropdown with these values using the Html.DropDownList extension method? Or is my best bet to simply create a for loop and create the html elements manually?
