Hi All,

In my MVC App I have:

Code:
@Html.DropDownListFor(x => x.VehicleTypeId, new SelectList(Model.VehicleTypes, "Id", "Description"), "-- Select --", new { style = "width:200px; border:1px solid blue;" })
The idea is that when records exist, then this will be pre-populated by the model. based on info Stored.

On initial create, I dont pre-populate the combo because the dataset would be huge. I wait until the user has entered enough data in other areas of the screen and then attempt a partial update passing back the information I need to return a more realistic list to populate the combo with.

in my JQuery postback on my success function, I can see that I have valid data being returned in my object. I now want to get that data out of the object and into the dropdownlistfor.

All examples I have found dont use this control, but instead use a simple HTML Select. I have been told by the tech lead that I must use this control anybody any ideas, thanks.
