Question

I want to create dymanic controls in my ASP.NET MVC Project.
For example

My Model contains an IList<Product> Products. Every product in this list contains a new IList<ProductItem>.
Product item has properties Text and Value.

Now i want to create one DropDownList for every Products and every dropdownlist should contains items for ProductItem.

Is this possible with HtmlHelpers?

Answer 1

This is pretty straight forward.
In your controller

public ActionResult Index()
{
    List<Product> model = GetProductList();
    View(model);
}

In your View:

@model IList<Products>

… and then later on …

@Html.DropDownListFor(item => item.Name, new SelectList(Model, "Name", "Value"))
