@this.Model.ActiveApplicationId @this.Html.DropDownList(applications, new SelectList(this.Model.AllApplications, ApplicationId, Title, this.Model.ActiveApplicationId)) renders… 17 <select id=applications> <option value=16>app 16</option>

@this.Model.ActiveApplicationId
@this.Html.DropDownList("applications", new SelectList(this.Model.AllApplications, "ApplicationId", "Title", this.Model.ActiveApplicationId))

renders…

17
<select id="applications">
    <option value="16">app 16</option>
    <option value="17">app 17</option>
</select

There is no selected="selected" attr on the 2nd option, and there should be. So, by default, since none of them are selected, the 1st one is selected.

What am I missing? Thanks!

    Why not use the strongly typed version? MVC does not respect the Selected value parameter of the SelectList.

    @Html.DropDownListFor(m => m, 
    new SelectList(Model.AllApplications, "ApplicationId", "Title"))
