[Solved] Prepend action in Telerik dropdownList

[saroj]

Hi support,

How can we pass first empty selection in dropdownlist with value 0.

<select value="0" ></select>

It works for normal dropdownlist by using string .empty as below but in Telerik i couldn't figure out 
@Html.DropDownListFor(f => f.OWNERSHIP_ID, Model.OWNERSHIPS, string.Empty)

Thanks

Hello Saroj,

You can use the Placeholder method to insert en empty item.

Hi Petur,

I have used the placeholder it sets an empty item but i need to set its value as "0". How can i do that.
The Placeholder doesn't do that. Any idea?

Thanks

Hi again Saroj,

You can set the initial value of the hidden input element.

.HiddenInputHtmlAttributes(new { value = "-20" })

All the best,
