Problems converting editorfor to dropdownlist - asp.net

Question

Please see Darin's solution here .. Converting HTML.EditorFor into a drop down (html.dropdownfor?)
I am not able to make the drop down list work. Can any help with this please. Thank you.
I am getting BC30203 error in my ascx page.
BC30203: Identifier expected. (Line 4 - new[] ).. What do I put in place of model. I tried putting the actual model name and may be I am getting the syntax wrong.. this code goes in the editor template according to the posted solution link above...
Code:
<%= Html.DropDownList(
"",
new SelectList(
new[]
{
new { Value = "true", Text = "Yes" },
new { Value = "false", Text = "No" },
},
"Value",
"Text",
Model
)
) %>

No idea why you are getting such error, the code should work. The following editor template works perfectly fine for me, I have just tested it:
<%# Control Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl" %>
<%= Html.DropDownList(
"",
new SelectList(
new SelectListItem[]
{
new SelectListItem { Value = "true", Text = "Yes" },
new SelectListItem { Value = "false", Text = "No" }
},
"Value",
"Text",
Model
)
) %>
with the following model:
public class MyViewModel
{
[UIHint("YesNoDropDown")]
public bool IsActive { get; set; }
}
controller:
public class HomeController : Controller
{
public ActionResult Index()
{
return View(new MyViewModel());
}
}
and view:
<%# Page
Language="C#"
MasterPageFile="~/Views/Shared/Site.Master"
Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<AppName.Models.MyViewModel>"
%>
<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="TitleContent" runat="server">
Home Page
</asp:Content>
<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" runat="server">
<%= Html.EditorFor(model => model.IsActive) %>
</asp:Content>
