Question

I have an IDictionary, now I want to use these values in a selectlist. How do I do this?

Thanks.

Just set "Value" and "Key" for dataValueField and dataTextField. You can either do this in your View itself or from your action (haven’t tested the code below).

var targets = new Dictionary<string, string>();
targets.Add("Key", "Value");

ViewData["MyList"] = new SelectList(targets, "Key", "Value");
