Why I am getting "System.Web.Mvc.SelectListItem" in my DropDownList?
<p>I believe I have bound my data correctly, but I can't seem to get my text property for each SelectListItem to show properly.</p>

<p>My model:</p>

<pre><code>public class Licenses
    {
        public SelectList LicenseNames { get; set; }
        public string SelectedLicenseName { get; set; }
    }
</code></pre>

<p>Controller:  </p>

<pre><code>[HttpGet]
    public ActionResult License()
    {
        try
        {
            DataTable LicsTable = BW.SQLServer.Table("GetLicenses", ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ProfressionalActivitiesConnection"].ToString());
            ProfessionalActivities.Models.Licenses model = new ProfessionalActivities.Models.Licenses();
            model.LicenseNames = new SelectList(LicsTable.AsEnumerable().Select(row =&gt;
            new SelectListItem
            {
                Value = row["Description"].ToString(),
                Text = "test"
            }));
            return PartialView("_AddLicense", model);
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            var t = ex;
            return PartialView("_AddLicense");
        }
    }
</code></pre>

<p>View:</p>

<pre><code>@Html.DropDownList("LicenseNames", new SelectList(Model.LicenseNames, "Value", "Text", Model.LicenseNames.SelectedValue), new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control focusMe" } })
</code></pre>
