Hi Tommy ,    
Thank you for contacting Syncfusion Support. 
We analyzed your query. We suggest you to use enabled property to false to disable the DropDownList component. Please refer the code block below, 




[View] 
 
@Html.EJS().DropDownList("games").Enabled(false).Placeholder("Select a game").PopupHeight("200px").DataSource((IEnumerable<object>)ViewBag.localdata).Render() 
 
 
[controller] 
 public IActionResult ddl()        {            ViewBag.data = new string[] { "American Football", "Badminton", "Basketball", "Cricket", "Football", "Golf", "Hockey", "Rugby", "Snooker", "Tennis" };            return View();        }
