Hello,

This is supposed to be easy but didn't manage to find it:

On my partial Form I can get all the string values but can't get the selected value from this one:

  @Html.DropDownListFor(x => Model.SList, (IEnumerable<SelectListItem>)MyList)

which is being populated simply from this:

 List<SelectListItem> MyList = new List<SelectListItem>();
    MyList.Add(new SelectListItem() { Text = "Text 1", Value = "Value 1" });
    MyList.Add(new SelectListItem() { Text = "Text 2", Value = "Value 2" });

On my controller which inherits from the SurfaceController I have :

public class WebFormModel
    {
    public List<SelectListItem> SList { get; set; }

}

But when I get the value from here:

private void SendSmtpEmail(....
body.AppendLine(model.SList);
 )

It returns: System.Collections.Generic.List`1[System.Web.Mvc.SelectListItem]

Some help so I can get the selected value or text ("Text 1" or "Value 1") will be appreciated.

Thank you.
