title: How to bind list of string in kendo dropdownlist
body: <p>Hello I am using Kendo for ASP.NET MVC.</p>
  
  <p>I have list of string containing data </p>
  
  <pre><code>[0]="str1"
  [1]="str2"... and so on
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now I want to bind this list of string into kendo dropdownlist.</p>
  
  <p>I have bind dropdownlist by list of class with name and id but with only one data in list of string, I don't know how to bind that!</p>
  
  <p>I have done that like below:</p>
  
  <pre><code> @(
                   Html.Kendo().DropDownList()
                              .Name("ddlstrings")
                              .DataTextField("stringname")
                              .DataValueField("stringname")
                              //.Events(x =&gt; x.Select("sourceclick"))
                              .SelectedIndex(0)
                              .DataSource(source =&gt;
                                  {
                                      source.Read(read =&gt;
                                      {
                                          read.Action("getData", "String");
                                      });
                                  })
                  )
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I got undefined.</p>
  
  <p>I am returning the data like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public JsonResult getData()
          {
              try
              {
                  List&lt;string&gt; stringlist = object.getstrlist();
                  return Json(stringlist, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
              }
              catch (Exception ex)
              {
                  return Json("", JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
              }
          }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Does anyone have any idea how can I do this!</p>
  
  <p>Any help would be appreciate.</p>
