I'm extremely frustrated trying to switch to MVC after a couple years of webforms development.

Here's my extremely simple problem that I can't manage to solve: I have a list of States in a table called StateProvince. I have a DropDownList. I want the DropDownList to display all of the States in the StateProvince table and post the selected state back on HTTP PUT.

This is what I'm doing: <%: Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.StateProvinceId, new SelectList(Model.StateProvinces, "StateProvinceId", "Name") )%>

I'm getting an Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Why? How can I make this work?

Keep it simple, I know nothing about MVC.
