@Html.Partial(FieldViewResolver.GetFieldView(Model.FormId.ToString(), f.FieldTypeName, f.Caption), f, new ViewDataDictionary { { "Alias", "List" }, { "dicAlias", @dicAlias } })

<select id="@Model.Id" ng-options="item.name for item in Lists track by item.id" class="@ViewData[" Alias"].ToString()" ng-model="List">       
<option value="">@Html.Raw(ViewData["dicAlias"].ToString())</option>
