title: MVC2 Html.DropDownList with required field and validation
body: <p>I am having heaps of trouble populating a simple drop down box in MVC2. The drop down is a required field so needs validation for this. I will also need to know which option the user selected when the form is posted back. </p>
  
  <p>If anyone has some code snippets for this I would love to see them.</p>
  
  <p>Thanx</p>
