I have a small form which the user must fill in and consists of the following fields.
Name (Text) Value (Text) Group (Group - Is a list of option pulled from a database table)
Now the Model for this View looks like so,
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Value { get; set; }
public int GroupID { get; set; }
Now the view is Strongly Typed to the above model.
What method would one use to populate the drop down list? Since the data is not contained within the Model (It could be contained in the Model) should we be using Temp/View data? A HTML Helper? What would be the ideal way to achieve this.
