Here’s the view:

<%@ Page Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<TravelDeskWebsite.Models.TestModel>" %>

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>
<head>
<title>TestPage</title>
</head>
<body>
<% using (Html.BeginForm())
   { %>
    <%= Html.DropDownListFor(x => x.SelectedText, ViewBag.Tests as SelectList)%>
    <%: (string)ViewBag.Test %>
<% } %>
</body>
</html>

The controller:

public ActionResult TestFunc(TestModel model)
    {

        List<string> TestList = new List<string>();
        TestList.Add("Help");
        TestList.Add("Please");
        ViewBag.Tests = new SelectList(TestList, model.SelectedText);
        ViewBag.Test = model.SelectedText;
        return View();
    }

What I wanted to achieve here is just to display the selected value as text on the same view. The problem is that the ViewBag returns null even if I have a selected value. When I test it, it throws null exception.

    You will have your SelectedValue in the SelectedText Property. try to use that.

    ViewBag.Test = model.SelectedText;
return View(model);
