title: Adding an object from another class to SelectListItem?
body: <p>Im wondering how SelectListItem works, kinda new at this. Been searching the net for a tutorial but  nothing i could find made anny sense to me.</p>
  
  <p>I have a controller and a method that returns a List of objects. I also have a ListModel class that has a List of SelectListItem wich is implemented in a <code>@html.DropDownList</code> in the View. Im trying to add the method from the controller to the SelectListItem-List but it wont work because <code>List&lt;MyClass&gt;</code> cannot be converted to <code>List&lt;SelectListItem&gt;</code>. However if i change <code>List&lt;MyClass&gt;</code> to <code>List&lt;SelectListItem&gt;</code> some values vill be selectable in the <code>@html.DropDownList</code> but i don't want to Display the values, i want to be able to select the method from the controller and then the method runs and returns the result.</p>
  
  <p>The main idea is that when the end user select the item in the DropDownList the Method in the controller will run and display the data.</p>
  
  <p>Would very much appreciate some input on this subject.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you</p>
