title: How to show selected item in Syncfusion DropDownList control
body: <p>I am working on an ASP.NET MVC application using Syncfusion controls. I have a drop down list in my view. The model has a property "Categories" which is a List of type Category.</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class Category
  {
      public int XKategorieId { get; set; }
      public int? Id { get; set; }
      public string Hinweis { get; set; }
      public string Kategorie { get; set; }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The model of the view also has a property "IdFromCategory". The model is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class ReportModel
  {
      public int? IdFromCategory { get; set; }
      public List&lt;Category&gt; Categories { get; set; }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am showing all the categories in the drop down list by setting the "DataSource" of "DropDownList". Now, my issue is that i want to show an item selected in the "DropDownList" when the view loads and that selected item will be the one with "Id" equals to "IdFromCategory ". </p>
  
  <pre><code>@Html.EJS().DropDownList("KundenBetreuung").DataSource(Model.Categories).Fields(new Syncfusion.EJ2.DropDowns.DropDownListFieldSettings { Text = "Kategorie", Value = "Id" }).Value(Model.IdFromCategory.ToString()).Width("100%").Render();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is my code, i am unable to set the selected item in the "DropDownList"</p>
