@Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.Gender, new List<SelectListItem>
{ new SelectListItem{Text="Male", Value="M"},
new SelectListItem{Text="Female", Value="F"}}, "M")

If you want to select by default as "M", then just replace with "Please select" to "M". So, by default it will select as M.

@Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.Gender, new List<SelectListItem>
{ new SelectListItem{Text="Male", Value="M",selectedValue},
new SelectListItem{Text="Female", Value="F"}}, "Please select")

or else

you can assign the above drop down list to viewbag and on searching you change the selectListItem as you required and override the dropdownlist with the latest after you mentioned selectedValue

Thanks!
