      ViewData["Months"] = new SelectList(Months);
  

• View Code:

Error: Argument 2: cannot convert from 'System.Web.Mvc.SelectList' to 'string'

Answer 1

The error is pretty clear, it states that it expects a type of string and you are passing a SelectList make sure you use the correct overloads.

@Html.DropDownList("Months",selectList: ((SelectList)ViewData["Months"]))
