How to Bind a DropDownList in ASP.NET MVC

Mode View:


namespace MvcApplicationrazor.Models
{
    public class CountryModel
    {
        public List<State> StateModel { get; set; }
     }


 
   public class State
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string StateName { get; set; }
    }

}

Controller:


public ActionResult Index()
        {
            CountryModel objcountrymodel = new CountryModel();
            objcountrymodel.StateModel = new List<State>();
            objcountrymodel.StateModel = GetAllState();
            return View(objcountrymodel);
        }
 
        // Collection for state
        public List<State> GetAllState()
        {
            List<State> objstate = new List<State>();
            objstate.Add(new State { Id = 0, StateName = "Select State" });
            objstate.Add(new State { Id = 1, StateName = "State 1" });
            objstate.Add(new State { Id = 2, StateName = "State 2" });
            objstate.Add(new State { Id = 3, StateName = "State 3" });
            objstate.Add(new State { Id = 4, StateName = "State 4" });
            return objstate;
        }

View:

@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
    @Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.StateModel, new SelectList(Model.StateModel, "Id", "StateName"))
 
}
