  How to show two values in Drop Down list text in MVC

  Apr 25, 2012 11:54 AM|LINK

  Hi,

  I am using  Html.DropDownListFor() to show drop down list values, the code is as follows.

  <%:Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.CurrentBoat.ID , new SelectList(Model.Boats, "ID", "Name" , Model.CurrentBoat.ID),
  new { id = "cmbB", @class = "formOption", style = "width:140px;" })%>

  it shows the text only is "Name" field from DB, i want to show here, combination of two fields from DB, For example i want to show

  Name  / SNumber

  here "Name" and "SailNumber" are two different fields in my DB.

  How can i show them according to my requirements???

  Thanks in Advance

  Use a view model or add a property to the model which is your "display property".
