i am new to MVC (database first), and i have a question
I have a form, with a DropDownList control. the DropDownList Control has been bound to a column on a database, but i want to have as part of the items, a default value e.g "--select grade--"
how do i go about this?
i have a couple of views and controllers generated from scaffolding.
i will attach my view as well as my controller for the particular object.
DropDownLists @Html.DropDownList("StudentID", null, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "form-control" })

@Html.DropDownList("CourseID", null, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "form-control" })

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
There is an overload of this method which takes an option label. Use that.

There is an overload of this method which takes an option label. Use that.

Razor view:
@Html.DropDownList("StudentGender",
new SelectList(Enum.GetValues(typeof(Gender))),
"Select Gender",
new { @class = "form-control" })
Result:
<select class="form-control" id="StudentGender" name="StudentGender">
<option>Select Gender</option>
<option>Male</option>
<option>Female</option>
</select>

You can use this overload of the DropDownList helper method.
public static DropDownList (thisHtmlHelper htmlHelper,
string name,
IEnumerable<System.Web.Mvc.SelectListItem> selectList,
string optionLabel,
IDictionary<string,object> htmlAttributes);
Here the third parameter optionLabel is used to build the an option item for for the default item. The option will not have a value attribute value.
So in your case, your view code will be
@Html.DropDownList("CourseID", ViewBag.CourseID as SelectList,
"--select grade--", new { @class = "form-control" })
This will render a SELECT element where the first option will be "select grade" and that will be selected (because it is first). If you want some other option item to be selected as default, consider using the DropDownListFor helper method with a view model. Refer this post for sample code on that approach.
