Hi, Here is the code that can be used on cshtml pages @Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.movietypeID, new SelectList(Model.movietypes, "Key", "value"), "--Select--") You need to bind the movietypes variable as a dictionary from the database. On the time of editing, you need to fetch the value of movie type selected at the time of creation and assign it to movietypeID, and again you will have to bind the movietypes variable from the database.
