ASP.net MVC 3 error: CS0103

Question

I have just started to learn ASP.NET MVC 3 form this book and I have a problem with example from it.

I always get this error

Description: An error occurred during the compilation of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific error details and modify your source code appropriately.

Compiler Error Message: CS0103: The name 'Text' does not exist in the current context

Here is the code:

@Html.DropDownListFor(p => p.WillAttend, new[]
                                            {
                                                new SelectListItem(), Text = "Yes I'll be there", Value = bool.TrueString,
                                                new SelectListItem(), Text = "No, I can't come", Value =  bool.FalseString
                                           
                                            }, "Chose option")

Anyone know how to solve this problem?

you forgot some {}:

@Html.DropDownListFor(p => p.WillAttend, new[]
                                            {
                                                new SelectListItem(){ Text = "Yes I'll be there", Value = bool.TrueString},
                                                new SelectListItem(){ Text = "No, I can't come", Value =  bool.FalseString}

                                            }, "Chose option")
