Here is an example
Am using department list in the employee view

In the model :
public class Employee
{

[Key]
public int EmployeeID { get; set; }

public int DepartmentID { get; set; }
public virtual Department Department { get; set; }

}

In the view :

@Html.DropDownList("DepartmentID", null, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "form-control" })

In the controller :
public ActionResult Create()
{
ViewBag.DepartmentID = new SelectList(db.Department, "DepartmentID", "DepartmentName");
return View();
}
