bind ALL option in dropdownlist

Guest User

hello,

I want to add ALL option in by dropdownlist code. Following is the code I am using to bind dropdown using Viewbag in mvc & dropdown data is coming from database

@Html.DropDownListFor(Model => Model.UserId, new SelectList(ViewBag.UserList, "Id", "Name", 0), "--Select Type--", new { @class = "form-control", @id = "ddlUser" })

i want first option should be ALL , so If user selects ALL option, I can save value 0 in database

thank you

thank you Jignesh Kumar for reply

My dropdownlist is working fine with viewbag.
I am just looking to add ALL option with viewbag data
If user select ALL option then I want to save 0 value in sql database
My dropdown directly starts with data from sql table and I am not able to ad ALL option in it

Please add option at 0 place in you list or viewbag


public ActionResult Index() {
    #region ViewBag
    List < SelectListItem > mySkills = new List < SelectListItem > () {
new SelectListItem {
            Text = "Select All", Value = "0"
        },
        new SelectListItem {
            Text = "ASP.NET MVC", Value = "1"
        },
        new SelectListItem {
            Text = "ASP.NET WEB API", Value = "2"
        },
        new SelectListItem {
            Text = "ENTITY FRAMEWORK", Value = "3"
        },
        new SelectListItem {
            Text = "DOCUSIGN", Value = "4"
        },
        new SelectListItem {
            Text = "ORCHARD CMS", Value = "5"
        },
        new SelectListItem {
            Text = "JQUERY", Value = "6"
        },
        new SelectListItem {
            Text = "ZENDESK", Value = "7"
        },
