I am trying to create a html.Dropdownlistfor a set of enums that I loaded into the viewbag then selected the current selected item? My current code does not work.

Controller:

//This does appear to load the ViewBag with the correct values.

ViewBag.AppRoleList = new SelectList(Enum.GetValues(typeof(APPRole)));

// View

Html.DropDownListFor (@Model.ROLE, ViewBag.AppRoleList as SelectList)

Here I get an Arguemt type cannot be inferred from usage type of message.

Note my model only has four porperties:

ID
ROLEID
ROLE
ACTIVE

And the model can not be changed.



Please help.
