I have this working peace of code, which displays populate a DropDownList in my MVC3 Razor Web App.

       @Html.DropDownListFor(x => x.ReminderTime,
            new SelectList(Model.RemindersList, "Item1 ", "Item2"))

I would need keep the DropDownList populated but DISABLED it, so a User cannot select a value in the list.

Could you point me out in the right direction? Please provide me a sample of code. Thanks!
