As you can see here and here I’m not a good friend of asp.net MVC’s SelectList.
This time I’m wondering how to count the items in it. I want to show a label instead of a dropdown if the possible items don’t offer any choice (items.count <2).
–EDIT–
Although Will’s answer probably works too, the easy way to go is call
.GetListItems().Count() This disables any lazy fetching you would have, but since they’re gonna be in a dropdown anyway, I don’t think that should be a problem.
Linq has an extension method for IEnumerable called Count().
