I'm trying to populate a dropdown box with values from a database tables using EF
Firstly I'm not sure about the return values here 
Description is a string so I',m returning a List but this does not work..
Secondly not how the return values can be used to populate the dropdown in my razor page view
any guidance appreciated
In webforms it was just a databind to the control this seems rather complicated

```
 public List<string> getEstablishments()
        {
            var db = new mydbContext();
            result=db.TblEstablishment.Select(x => new { x.Description }).ToList();

            db.Dispose();
            return result;
        }

```
