simple asp.net tag helper list question
2
I am not sure if you can even do this, I am just learning and experimenting some.
In a cshtml file I have:
@{
List<string> items = new List<string>();
items.Add("item 1");
items.Add("item2");
}
Then I want to just access that in a select:
<td><select asp-for="Genre" asp-items=@items /></td>
Is there a way to do this or I am just trying to feed a baseball to a horse who really wants an apple?

You can try to use List<SelectListItem> instead of List<string>
The SelectListItem class belongs to Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc.Rendering namespace.
@{
List<SelectListItem> items= new List<SelectListItem>()
{
new SelectListItem {Text = "item1", Value = "item1"},
new SelectListItem {Text = "item2", Value = "item2"}
};
}
<td><select asp-for="Genre" asp-items="@items"></select></td>

I get the same error (which I should have posted) of Cannot implicitly convert type 'string' to System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable <Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Rendering.SelectListItem>'
