I tried searching and didn't find anything that fixed my problem. I have a DropDownList on a Razor view that will not show the the item that I have marked as Selected in the SelectList. Here is the controller code that populates the list:

```
var statuses  = new SelectList(db.OrderStatuses, "ID", "Name", order.Status.ID.ToString());
ViewBag.Statuses = statuses;
return View(vm);

```

Here is the View code:

```
<div class="display-label">
   Order Status</div>
<div class="editor-field">
   @Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.StatusID, (SelectList)ViewBag.Statuses)
   @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.StatusID)
</div>

```

I walk through it and even in the view it has the correct SelectedValue however the DDL always shows the first item in the list regardless of the selected value. Can anyone point out what I am doing wrong to get the DDL to default to the SelectValue?
