    Hi all,

    In my mvc project I'm trying to use the Html.DropDownList extension method but manage to use it with an enumeration. 

    Any suggestion please? Thanks

    Sample enum

    public enum ItemTypes
{
    Movie = 1,
    Game = 2,
    Book = 3
}

    Then call in your controller

    View code will be 

    @Html.EnumDropDownListFor(
    x => x.YourEnumField,
    "Select My Type", 
    new { @class = "form-control" })

    Please don't forget to mark as answer if it helps you. Thanks!
