DropDown returning all records instead of selected

[Chris]

I have a dropdown list that populates from a users table, this populates correctly and then using the DropdownListFor I wish to bind it to the corresponding field in my model (using MVC). It returns all of the records inside the DropDownList and causes a Json error. Any ideas?

cshtml:

 @Html.LabelFor(model => model.AccountAdminUserID, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "control-label" })
                    @(Html.Kendo().DropDownListFor(model => model.AccountAdminUserID)
                    .Name("AccManagersDropDownList")
                    .DataTextField("FullName")
                    .DataValueField("AdminUserID")
                    .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "width: 100%" })
                    .DataSource(source =>
                {
                    source.Read(read =>
                {
                    read.Action("GetAccManagers", "AccountManager");
                })
                .ServerFiltering(true);
            })
            .SelectedIndex(0)
                    )

Hello Chris,

We would first recommend removing the Name declaration, when bound to a model the DropDownList gets its name from the field it is bound to (AccountAdminUserID), and you can also check whether the json response is in the expected format. It should look something like this:

[{"FullName":"Anna","AdminUserID":1},{"FullName":"Bob","AdminUserID":2}]

Yes, realised this was the issue. 
Thanks for your response. I have another query regarding The Editor component when being used inside a TabStrip of a grid. Will post shortly.
