Question

I am following few tutorials for creating MVC3 application.
I saw example of adding dropdownlist bound to a model.

@Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.Vehicle.Model, new List<SelectListItem>(), String.Empty, new { style = "width: 100px;", size = "1" })

But i just want to add few contant values i.e. not coming from the DB, but just want to add few items to dropdownlist in code, how can i do it?

@{
     var modellist = new List<VehicleModels>()
     {
         new VehicleModels() { ID= 1, Name="A"},
         new VehicleModels() { ID= 2, Name="B"},
         new VehicleModels() { ID= 3, Name="C"},
         new VehicleModels() { ID= 4, Name="D"}
     }
}

@Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.Vehicle.Model, new SelectList(modellist, "ID" , "Name"), String.Empty, new { style = "width: 100px;", size = "1" })
