Check for the option label string

I'm using the option Label string for my Html.DropDownList but my datasource is a SelectList. How I would check for the option label back on the server? The backing type for the variable is an EnumType. I inspected the value and it says 0 but it won't let me check for 0.

Solution

  • How about casting the value back to the enum type on the server:

    [HttpPost]
public ActionResult Index(int selectedValue)
{
    MyEnum label = (MyEnum)selectedValue;
    ...
}
