Menu
I'm trying to make a dropdownlistfor with a selected value but it doesn't work :/ And I search on the web but I don't find the solution :/
For the moment, I'm doing this :
In C# :
ViewBag.ID_VEH = new SelectList(db.VEHI, "ID_VEH", "COD_VEH", 4); // 4 is an example
In my cshtml :
@Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.ID_VEH, ViewBag.ID_VEH as SelectList)
The dropdownlist is well complete but the default value is not selected :/ do you have an idea please ?

In practice, you could create the ViewModel, and override these defaults with values pulled from a database entry (using the data-backed model), but as-is, this will always use these default values.
The value of the selected element can be found by using the value property on the selected element that defines the list. This property returns a string representing the value attribute of the <option> element in the list. If no option is selected then nothing will be returned.
What I like to do is add a list of the items to display in the dropdownlist to my model, so I don't have to pass that list via a viewbag. Also i like to add a field to my model that contains the SelectedValue, that I fill in the controller
Then you can do
@Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.ID_VEH, new SelectList(Model.listVEH, "ID_VEH", "COD_VEH", Model.SelectedVEH_ID), "--Select VEH--")
