Question

Ok I have the following Code

   #region getDurationListDD
    private List<KeyValuePair<int, int>> getDurationListDD
    {
        get
        {
            List<KeyValuePair<int, int>> dDur = new List<KeyValuePair<int, int>>();
            dDur.Add(new KeyValuePair<int, int>(2, 2));
            dDur.Add(new KeyValuePair<int, int>(3, 3));
            dDur.Add(new KeyValuePair<int, int>(4, 4));
            dDur.Add(new KeyValuePair<int, int>(7, 7));
            dDur.Add(new KeyValuePair<int, int>(14, 14));
            dDur.Add(new KeyValuePair<int, int>(21, 21));

            return dDur;
        }
    }
    #endregion

Then the following in the main ActionResult…

ViewData["changeDuration"] = new SelectList(getDurationListDD, "Key", "Value", Duration);

this on the view

Html.DropDownList("changeduration", (SelectList)ViewData["changeDuration"])

Now if the Duration was set (i.e. int Duration = 7;) then I’d expect that 7 would be selected, but for some reason it isn’t. Any hints before I give up trying and do something more productive?

Just fixed it.

Changed:

Html.DropDownList("changeduration", (SelectList)ViewData["changeDuration"])

To:

Html.DropDownList("cduration", (SelectList)ViewData["changeDuration"])
