I found a nifty little quirk in ASP.NET Core recently where the
It turns out that it's just a minor difference in how the control is written in the HTML/XML of the view. It's the difference between using "" and "". Syntactically, that's the same but ASP.NET Core handles it differently.
Here's how it looks in the browser.
And if you open the dropdown menu, here's what you get.
[caption id="attachment_9587" align="alignnone" width="300"]
The select control is broken[/caption]
[caption id="attachment_9588" align="alignnone" width="300"]
The select control works[/caption]
Here's how that looks in the view (cshtml):
<!-- THIS VERSION IS BROKEN --> <select asp-for="StateId2" asp-items="Model.States" class="form-control" /> <!-- THIS VERSION WORKS --> <select asp-for="StateId1" asp-items="Model.States" class="form-control"></select> </div>
So if you run into this problem, just change your self-closing select tag to use a separate closing tag.
I hope this helps.
