I am trying to make a select for the Title prop with a choice of options or with the input of an arbitrary value. Created a simple model:

public class Email { public int Id { get; set; } public string Title { get; set; } public string Message { get; set; } }

I display it on the view:

 @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Title , "Title") @Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.Title, new SelectList(new string[] { "Title 1", "Title 2", "Title 3"})) @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Message , "Message") @Html.EditorFor(model => model.Message)

In fact, with the choice of options, everything is fine, but I won’t put my mind on how to set an arbitrary text for this field, since select disables the entry of values ​​not in the select list.

Actually the question: how to make Select (DropDownListFor) with the ability to enter an arbitrary value?

    What you are looking for is called an "autocomplete dropdownlist." Here , for example, is one of the implementations for asp.net MVC with regular jQuery, which is included in the MVC project by default.
