Bin to Viewbag

[Allan]

​Hi there, I was wondering if someone could help me.  How can I bind my dropdown list to a viewbag to ensure it's getting it's data from the right place?  I found a couple of guides but they didn't work for my scenario.  Here is my code.

// #DDL - Broker Companies

      IEnumerable<SelectListItem> thestats = seabrokersData.tbl_requirement_status

          .Select(c => new SelectListItem
          {
              Value = c.id.ToString(),
              Text = c.thet_status
          });
      ViewBag.theStatus = theStatus;

 

I would like my Kendo Dropdown to use the above viewbag to populate itself.  How can I do this?

Many thanks

Hello Allan,

Indeed you can do that. Please use the following example as a base:

@(Html.Kendo().DropDownList()
         .Name("DropDownListName")
        .DataValueField("CategoryID")
        .DataTextField("CategoryName")
        .BindTo((System.Collections.IEnumerable)ViewBag.categories)
)
