My Dropdown works properly with following code :-
@Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.StopMonth, Enum.GetNames(typeof(Models.InputMonths)).Select(e => new SelectListItem { Text = e }), new { @class = "form-control"})
public enum InputMonths
{
January,
February,
March,
April,
May,
June,
July,
August,
September,
October,
November,
December
}
But when it is displayed in View, I need DropDown to display ---Select Month--- as default value. So that i can check required validation in jQuery Script.
How to do this?
First add value to your enum
public enum InputMonths {
January = 1,
February = 2,
March = 3,
April = 4,
May = 5,
.
.
.
}
Then decorate your Model with:
[Required]
[Range(1, 12, ErrorMessage = "Select a month"))]
public StopMonth StopMonth { get; set; }
And finally:
@Html.DropDownListFor(
model => model.StopMonth,
Enum.GetNames(typeof(Models.InputMonths))
.Select(e => new SelectListItem { Text = e }),
"-- Select a month --",
new { @class = "form-control"})
