title: Setting the selected option in MVC3
body: <p>So I can get this far</p>
  
  <pre><code>string selectedOption = ViewBag.SelectedOption;
  
  &lt;select id="SelectedYear" name="SelectedYear"&gt;       
      &lt;option value="2010"&gt;2010&lt;/option&gt;//if(selectedOption == 2010)...meh...
      &lt;option value="2011"&gt;2011&lt;/option&gt;             
      &lt;option value="2012"&gt;2012&lt;/option&gt;
      &lt;option value="2013"&gt;2013&lt;/option&gt;
  &lt;/select&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And I know I can store <code>SelectedOption</code> in a <code>div</code> and set the selected option with jQuery in a concise way after <code>$(document).ready</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a concise method to accomplish the task with straight up MVC3/razor?</p>
