I’m trying to upgrade from Preview 2 to Preview 3. I think the idea of having each action return an ActionResult was a good one, so far it has actually made my code slightly smaller.
What I don’t understand though is why Html.Select seems to have disappeared…

When I go into the APX and type Html. there is no Select method listed along with the other options! Where is it?
thanks brother
That was my post 🙂
Thanks for making sure I didn’t miss it!

Pete, have a look at this forum post.
It really has been replaced with DropDownList and ListBox.
I think Html.Select is an extension method available from MvcContrib.
You can try to use DropDownList instead.
In controller:
ViewData[“SoftwareList”] = new SelectList(
PassListOfSoftwareHere(),
“ID”,
“Name”);
The view is very simple:
<%= Html.DropDownList(“SoftwareList”) %>
