Simple Listbox

[Bernard Jurlina]

I have selectlist in my controller like this:

var lstCountry = new SelectList(new[]
            {
                    new { ID = "AR", Name = "Argentina"},
                    new { ID = "AT", Name = "Austria"},
                    new { ID = "AU", Name = "Australia"},
                }, "ID", "Name");
            ViewBag.lstC = lstCountry;
            return View();

How can I bind the listbox in the view to that lstC?

Thanks!

Hi Jurlina, 

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support. 

In order to bind generic SelectList type data to Collection type control, you will need to convert it to list. Please refer the below code sample, 

[CSHTML] 

@Html.EJ().ListBox("listboxsample").Datasource((IEnumerable<SelectListItem>)ViewBag.lstC).ListBoxFields(lf=> lf.Text("Text").Value("Value")) 

 

[C#] 

public ActionResult Index() 

{ 

    var lstCountry = new SelectList(new[] 

    { 

            new { ID = "AR", Name = "Argentina"}, 

            new { ID = "AT", Name = "Austria"}, 

            new { ID = "AU", Name = "Australia"}, 

        }, "ID", "Name").ToList<SelectListItem>(); 

    ViewBag.lstC = lstCountry; 

    return View(); 

}
