How to pass List<string> to dropdown?

Question

I have a list as follows:

List<string>WeekEnding={'10/07/2018','11/11/2018','01/21/2018'};

I want to pass it to the dropdown with name='10/07/2018' value='10/07/2018'

my dropdown is

  @Html.DropDownList("WeekEnding", null, new { Id = "WeekEnding", style = "width:50px;", @class = "form-control js-select", @size = "2" , required = "required" })  

Answer 1

You can use like this

@model List<string>
@Html.DropDownList(
    "WeekEnding", 
    new SelectList(
        Model.Select(x => new { Value = x, Text = x }),//you have to pass data as model. If you use another way you must change this line. 
        "Value",
        "Text"
    ),
    new { Id = "WeekEnding", style = "width:50px;", @class = "form-control js-select", @size = "2" , required = "required" }
)
