Question

I have this array property in my model and would like to see it in my view as a dropdown list. Here’s the array property:

public string[] weekDays = new string[5] { "monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday" };

public string[] WeekDays
{
    get { return weekDays; }
}

I’ve look for hours with no simple explanation or examples. Please help.

Here’s how I solved it.

@{
    var wekdys = new Enrollment();
    @Html.DropDownList("weekDays", wekdys.WeekDays.Select(s => new SelectListItem { Text = s.ToString(), Value = s.ToString() }))
}

this allows me to have a DropDownList outside of the foreach loop
