The trick is to set the Selected property when creating the SelectListItem Collection. It would not work any other way, perhaps I missed something but in end, it is more elegant in my option. Show activity on this post. Use LINQ and add the condition on the "selected" as a question mark condition.
If you set ViewData["MaintJobTypes"] equal to the value of the item you want to select, Html.DropDownList will pick that up and set the selected value. You can also use a property on Model as long as the name of the drop down list matches the model property.
Alternatively you can use the SelectList helper which provides a list of items and the selected one.
