I can't quite figure out how to get this to align properly with mvc 6. There's a CSS tag for "dropdown" but it's just position: relative and doesn't do anything at all. This was all auto generated scaffolding with Entity Framework.

```
<div class="form-horizontal">
        <h4>Person</h4>
        <hr />
        @Html.ValidationSummary(true, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
        @Html.HiddenFor(model => model.PersonId)

        <div class="form-group">
            @Html.LabelFor(model => model.FullName, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })
            <div class="col-md-10">
                @Html.DisplayFor(model => model.FullName, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })
            </div>
        </div>

        <div class="form-group">
            @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Email, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })
            <div class="col-md-10">
                @Html.DisplayFor(model => model.Email, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })
            </div>
        </div>

        <div class="form-group">
            @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Roles, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })
            <div class="dropdown">
                @Html.DropDownList("RoleList", null, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })
                @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Roles, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
            </div>
        </div>

        <div class="form-group">
            <div class="col-md-offset-2 col-md-10">
                <input type="submit" value="Save" class="btn btn-default" />

**UPDATE**: This is an update to my HTML recommended by the answer below. This makes every element on the page scatter all over the place. See next screenshot.

```
@model NewUserTool.Models.PersonViewModel

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Edit";
    Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml";
}

<h2>Edit</h2>

@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
    @Html.AntiForgeryToken()

    <div class="form-horizontal">
        <h4>Person</h4>
        <hr />
        @Html.ValidationSummary(true, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
        @Html.HiddenFor(model => model.PersonId)

        <div class="form-control-static">
            @Html.LabelFor(model => model.FullName, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })
            <div class="col-md-10">
                @Html.DisplayFor(model => model.FullName, new { @class = "form-control" })
            </div>
        </div>

        <div class="form-control-static">
            @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Email, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })
            <div class="col-md-10">
                @Html.DisplayFor(model => model.Email, new { @class = "form-control" })
            </div>
        </div>

        <div class="form-control-static">
            @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Roles, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })
            <div class="dropdown">
                @Html.DropDownList("RoleList", null, new { @class = "form-control" })
                @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Roles, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
            </div>
        </div>

        <div class="form-control-static">
            <div class="col-md-offset-2 col-md-10">
                <input type="submit" value="Save" class="btn btn-default" />
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
}

<div>
    @Html.ActionLink("Back to List", "Index")
</div>

```

Does this:
