Dropdown bind problem at run time...

Question

hi friends,

Firstly happy New year...

I have been hiiting my head towards this prob for the past 2 hrs ..

My issue is i am trying to display my dropdownlist in my views (MVC Framework)

my viewmodel class contains the following:

  public class two

        {

            List<SelectListItem> items = new List<SelectListItem>();

            public List<SelectListItem> getItemsnew()

            {

                items.Add(new SelectListItem

                {

                    Text = "one",

                    Value = "1"

                });

                items.Add(new SelectListItem

                {

                    Text = "two",

                    Value = "2"

                });

                return items;

            }

        }

In my Controller i have the following

  two two2 = new two();

               List<SelectListItem> items1 = two2.getItemsnew();

               SelectList newselectlist = new SelectList(items1);

               ViewData["List1"] = newselectlist;

Error here is while running my application

my dropdown gets displayed but not with the specified values insted

I binds "System.Web.Mvc.SelectListItem " in my dropdown!

for both the values...

I even tried to save the Application..

It saves  "System.Web.Mvc.SelectListItem " in mt Database...

I know its jus a minor error some where..
