Display Data From The Database Into Dropdownlist In Asp.net Mvc3

I am trying to fetch field data from the database and display in dropdown list. I am not getting proper output. I get model class name in dropdown. Model name: SearchMDLNoModel us

Solution 1:

You are using the wrong constructor of the SelectList where the second parameter is the selectedValue.

You probably need this constructor where you can specify the dataValueField and the dataTextField

So you should write create your SelectList like this:

ViewData["MDLno"] = 
 newSelectList(SearchMDLNoDL.getAllMDLno(), "Request_For_Id", "Request_For_Id");
