What have you tried?

Normally you would put selected id in helper call or if you're constructing HTML directly you'd add selected="true" property to the item in question.

Not without code. Google it, you'll find basic examples. If you already have the code that doesn't work, you have to post it here, we don't see your screen or see your system.

Can you provide your relevant code how are you loading values to your dropdownlist?

DataTable dt = ds_Job_Open.Tables[0];

if (dt.Rows.Count > 0)
{
ddljob.DataSource = dt;
ddljob.DataTextField = "Job_Title";
ddljob.DataValueField = "Job_Id";
ddljob.DataBind();

}

Try This

@Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.xyz, new SelectList(new List<Object>{
new { key= "" , value = "Choose" },
new { key= 1 , value = "1" },
new { key= 2 , value = "2" },
new { key= 3 , value = "3" },
new { key= 4 , value = "4" }
}, "key", "Value",3), new { @class = "form-control" })
