编辑:下面是代码:

public static class EnumEditorHtmlHelper
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Creates the DropDown List (HTML Select Element) from LINQ 
    /// Expression where the expression returns an Enum type.
    /// </summary>

    public static MvcHtmlString DropDownListFor<TModel, TProperty>(this HtmlHelper<TModel> htmlHelper,
        Expression<Func<TModel, TProperty>> expression) 
        where TModel : class
    {
        TProperty value = htmlHelper.ViewData.Model == null 
            ? default(TProperty) 
            : expression.Compile()(htmlHelper.ViewData.Model);
        string selected = value == null ? String.Empty : value.ToString();
        return htmlHelper.DropDownListFor(expression, createSelectList(expression.ReturnType, selected));
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Creates the select list.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="enumType">Type of the enum.</param>
    /// <param name="selectedItem">The selected item.</param>
    /// <returns></returns>
    private static IEnumerable<SelectListItem> createSelectList(Type enumType, string selectedItem)
    {
        return (from object item in Enum.GetValues(enumType)
                let fi = enumType.GetField(item.ToString())
                let attribute = fi.GetCustomAttributes(typeof (DescriptionAttribute), true).FirstOrDefault()
                let title = attribute == null ? item.ToString() : ((DescriptionAttribute) attribute).Description
                select new SelectListItem
                  {
                      Value = item.ToString(), 
                      Text = title, 
                      Selected = selectedItem == item.ToString()
                  }).ToList();
    }
}

        ////  ViewModel

        public class RegisterViewModel
          {

        public RegisterViewModel()
          {
              ActionsList = new List<SelectListItem>();
          }

        public IEnumerable<SelectListItem> ActionsList { get; set; }

        public string StudentGrade { get; set; }

           }

       //// Enum Class

        public enum GradeTypes
             {
               A,
               B,
               C,
               D,
               E,
               F,
               G,
               H
            }

         ////Controller action 

           public ActionResult Student()
               {
    RegisterViewModel vm = new RegisterViewModel();
    IEnumerable<GradeTypes> actionTypes = Enum.GetValues(typeof(GradeTypes))
                                         .Cast<GradeTypes>();                  
    vm.ActionsList = from action in actionTypes
                     select new SelectListItem
                     {
                         Text = action.ToString(),
                         Value = action.ToString()
                     };
              return View(vm);
               }

         ////// View Action

   <div class="form-group">
                            <label class="col-lg-2 control-label" for="hobies">Student Grade:</label>
                            <div class="col-lg-10">
                               @Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.StudentGrade, Model.ActionsList, new { @class = "form-control" })
                            </div>

在ASP。NET MVC 5.1，他们添加了EnumDropDownListFor()助手，所以不需要自定义扩展:

模型:

public enum MyEnum
{
    [Display(Name = "First Value - desc..")]
    FirstValue,
    [Display(Name = "Second Value - desc...")]
    SecondValue
}

观点:

@Html.EnumDropDownListFor(model => model.MyEnum)

使用标签助手(ASP。Net MVC 6):

<select asp-for="@Model.SelectedValue" asp-items="Html.GetEnumSelectList<MyEnum>()">

超文本标记语言DropDownListFor只需要一个IEnumerable，所以Prise的解决方案的替代方案如下。这将允许你简单地写:

@Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.SelectedItemType, Model.SelectedItemType.ToSelectList())

[其中SelectedItemType是ItemTypes类型的模型上的字段，并且您的模型是非空的]

此外，您实际上不需要泛化扩展方法，因为您可以使用enumValue.GetType()而不是typeof(T)。

编辑:集成西蒙的解决方案在这里以及，并包括ToDescription扩展方法。

public static class EnumExtensions
{
    public static IEnumerable<SelectListItem> ToSelectList(this Enum enumValue)
    {
        return from Enum e in Enum.GetValues(enumValue.GetType())
               select new SelectListItem
               {
                   Selected = e.Equals(enumValue),
                   Text = e.ToDescription(),
                   Value = e.ToString()
               };
    }

    public static string ToDescription(this Enum value)
    {
        var attributes = (DescriptionAttribute[])value.GetType().GetField(value.ToString()).GetCustomAttributes(typeof(DescriptionAttribute), false);
        return attributes.Length > 0 ? attributes[0].Description : value.ToString();
    }
}

这是符文和价格的答案改变使用Enum int值作为ID。

示例枚举:

public enum ItemTypes
{
    Movie = 1,
    Game = 2,
    Book = 3
}

扩展方法:

    public static SelectList ToSelectList<TEnum>(this TEnum enumObj)
    {
        var values = from TEnum e in Enum.GetValues(typeof(TEnum))
                     select new { Id = (int)Enum.Parse(typeof(TEnum), e.ToString()), Name = e.ToString() };

        return new SelectList(values, "Id", "Name", (int)Enum.Parse(typeof(TEnum), enumObj.ToString()));
    }

用法示例:

 <%=  Html.DropDownList("MyEnumList", ItemTypes.Game.ToSelectList()) %>

记住导入包含Extension方法的命名空间

<%@ Import Namespace="MyNamespace.LocationOfExtensionMethod" %>

生成的HTML示例:

<select id="MyEnumList" name="MyEnumList">
    <option value="1">Movie</option>
    <option selected="selected" value="2">Game</option>
    <option value="3">Book </option>
</select>

请注意，用于调用ToSelectList的项就是选中的项。

现在这个特性在MVC 5.1中通过@Html.EnumDropDownListFor()得到了开箱即用的支持。

根据上面的投票，微软花了5年的时间来实现这样一个如此受欢迎的功能，真是太遗憾了!
