You're setting both items to selected if the item's status is true, and neither of them to selected if the status is false.

You need to set one item as selected depending on the status:

C#

new SelectListItem{Text="True", Value="True", Selected = item.status },
new SelectListItem{Text="False", Value="False", Selected = !item.status }
