Nov 24 2019 5:50 AM
I have a create view in which i have static dropdown list populated with some pre-defined values for the year , Now on listing i want to show the year text like 2012,2014,2019 rather than their values 1,2,3 How to achieve that remember i have static dropdown data is not coming from database below is the code 
@Html.DropDownListFor(model=>item.Year_Passed, new List
{
new SelectListItem{ Text="Select Year", Value = "0" },
new SelectListItem{ Text="2000", Value = "1" },
new SelectListItem{ Text="2001", Value = "2" },
new SelectListItem{ Text="2002", Value = "3" },
new SelectListItem{ Text="2003", Value = "4" },
new SelectListItem{ Text="2004", Value = "5" },
new SelectListItem{ Text="2005", Value = "6" },
new SelectListItem{ Text="2006", Value = "7" },
new SelectListItem{ Text="2007", Value = "8" },
new SelectListItem{ Text="2008", Value = "9" },
new SelectListItem{ Text="2009", Value = "10" },
new SelectListItem{ Text="2010", Value = "11" },
new SelectListItem{ Text="2011", Value = "12" },
new SelectListItem{ Text="2012", Value = "13" },
new SelectListItem{ Text="2013", Value = "14" },
new SelectListItem{ Text="2014", Value = "15" },
new SelectListItem{ Text="2015", Value = "16" },
new SelectListItem{ Text="2016", Value = "17" },
new SelectListItem{ Text="2017", Value = "18" },
new SelectListItem{ Text="2018", Value = "19" },
new SelectListItem{ Text="2019", Value = "20" },
}, item.Year_Passed, new { @class = "well well-sm", @id = "Year", @disabled = "disabled" })
 
item.YEar_passed is coming from Db it is saving year id value not text
