Hi everybody,

In the view model I have the following:

 [DisplayName("Template Type:")]
        public TemplateTypes TmplType { get; set; }

where the TemplateTypes enum is Byte type (column in the database is tinyint). I tried using byte directly with the same result.

In the form we have the following:

<div class="col-md-8">
                @*@Html.DropDownList("templateTypes", (IEnumerable<SelectListItem>)ViewBag.TemplateTypes, new { @class = "form-control", ng_model = "currentTemplate.tmplType" })*@
                <select class="form-control" name="templateTypes" id="templateTypes"
                        ng-model="currentTemplate.tmplType" 
                        ng-options="t.value as t.text for t in templateTypes"></select>
            </div>

The original commented code worked Ok. The new code has the values in drop down when I open it, but it doesn't correctly show on the form (e.g. drop down shows empty). If I change the value, it does correctly show in the grid after I save, but not in the form - the drop down is still blank.

The same form has few more drop downs and they show everything correctly.

To build the templateTypes we use a special class to convert enums into value and string representation.

Do you see what may be missing here? Could it be the types difference (both value and text are strings)?

     public string Text { get; set; }
        //
        // Summary:
        //     Gets or sets the value of the selected item.
        //
        // Returns:
        //     The value.
        public string Value { get; set; }

Thanks in advance.
