Yes. It is default value of the leaveCode.

in viewBag

ViewBag.leaveCode = new SelectList(db.ApplyLeaveVMs, "alid", "leaveCode", applyLeaveVM.leaveCode);

above is my ViewBang

if I do like below it will through error.

ViewBag.leaveCode = new SelectList(db.ApplyLeaveVMs, "alid", "leaveCode","LOP", applyLeaveVM.leaveCode);

So, please let me know how I can add default value in ddl.
