Dropdown bind problem at run time...

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 items = new List();

public List 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 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..

plz guide me..

thanks in Adv
