title: Binding Dropdown selected value to a model property
body: <p>May be I just don't know how to google, but I am trying to find an example where a dropdown control is data-binded to a collection (this part is working for me) and then I want to read the drop down selection back into a variable. This variable could be a property on the mode. Binding dropdown selected value back into variable is where I am having troube. In web-forms world this was no big deal but for some reason I cannot make it work with MVC 3. Any code samples or examples will be highly appreciated.</p>
