Include DropDown List Inside WebGrid in MVC 4.

Step-1: Make a Model
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;

namespace MvcApplication1.Models
{
    public class EmployeeInformation
    {
        public List<Employee> EmployeeModel { get; set; }
    }
    public class Employee
    {
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public string Address { get; set; }
        public SelectList MerritalStatus { get; set; }
    }
    public class Status
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string StatusName { get; set; }
    }
}

Step-2:Coding on Controller

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using MvcApplication1.Models;

namespace MvcApplication1.Controllers
{
    public class HomeController : Controller
    {
        public ActionResult Index()
        {
            EmployeeInformation empobj = new EmployeeInformation();
            empobj.EmployeeModel = MerryDetail();
            return View(empobj);
        }
        public List<Employee> MerryDetail()
        {
            List<Employee> objempmodel = new List<Employee>();
            objempmodel.Add(new Employee { Name = "Employee1", Address = "Address1", MerritalStatus = GetStatus() });
            objempmodel.Add(new Employee { Name = "Employee2", Address = "Address2", MerritalStatus = GetStatus() });
            objempmodel.Add(new Employee { Name = "Employee3", Address = "Address3", MerritalStatus = GetStatus() });
            objempmodel.Add(new Employee { Name = "Employee4", Address = "Address4", MerritalStatus = GetStatus() });
            objempmodel.Add(new Employee { Name = "Employee5", Address = "Address5", MerritalStatus = GetStatus() });
            return objempmodel;
        }
        public SelectList GetStatus()
        {
            List<Status> status = new List<Status>();
            status.Add(new Status { Id = 1, StatusName = "Merried" });
            status.Add(new Status { Id = 2, StatusName = "Unmerried" });
            SelectList objinfo = new SelectList(status, "Id", "StatusName");
            return objinfo;
        }
    }
}

Step-3:View

@model MvcApplication1.Models.EmployeeInformation

@{ViewBag.Title = "Index";}

<style type="text/css">

    .gridTable {

        margin: 4px;

        padding: 10px;

        border: 1px #333 solid;

        border-collapse: collapse;

        min-width: 550px;

        background-color: #999;

        color: #999;

    }

    .gridHead th {

        font-weight: bold;

        background-color: #ffd800;

        color: #333;

        padding: 10px;

    }

    .gridHead a:link, .gridHead a:visited, .gridHead a:active, .gridHead a:hover {

        color: #333;

    }

    .gridHead a:hover {

        text-decoration: underline;

        background-color: #f67f7f;

    }

    .gridTable tr.gridAltRow {

        background-color: #c7d1d6;

    }

    .gridTable tr:hover {

        background-color: #f67f7f;

    }

    .gridAltRow td {

        padding: 10px;

        margin: 5px;

        color: #333;

    }

    .gridRow td {

        padding: 10px;

        color: #333;

    }

    .gridFooter td {

        padding: 10px;

        background-color: #c7d1d6;

        color: #999;

        font-size: 12pt;

        text-align: center;

    }

    .gridFooter a {

        font-size: medium;

        font-weight: bold;

        color: #333;

        border: 1px #333 solid;

    }

</style>

@{

    var g_style = new WebGrid(source: Model.EmployeeModel,rowsPerPage: 10);

    

    @g_style.GetHtml(
