HI,
Yiu can also maintain by making an entity(Model) against the View.Then you dont want to make any code in your controller.just return the view with entity.
eg:
In Controller Action Method
If your EntityName is Credentials
public ActionResult Index(ClsCredentials ObjCredentials)
{
return View(ObjCredentials);
}
In Your View Must Bind the Model.After that
<%: Html.DropDownListFor(Mdl => Mdl.Country,(SelectList)ViewData["Country"]) %>
Actually In MVC you should use Model.Formcollecton is an optional way if Model structure is not applicable in the related view
