Using SelectList I want to have one extra data text field-CodePudding

In the code below I would like for 'the data text field' to have both "FirstName" and "LastName" not only "FirstName" for the producers and actors. I am using this for a dropdownlist.

public async Task<IActionResult> Create()
{
    var movieDropdownsData = await _service.GetNewMovieDropdownsValues();            
    ViewBag.Cinemas = new SelectList(movieDropdownsData.Cinemas, "Id", "Name");
    ViewBag.Producers = new SelectList(movieDropdownsData.Producers, "Id", "FirstName");
    ViewBag.Actors = new SelectList(movieDropdownsData.Actors, "Id", "FirstName");
    return View();
}

From what I read I have to add and extra 'data text field' but I don't know how.

I would suggest you modify your classes to have something like this - with proper names/format perhaps. Then just use that

public string FullName { get { return this.FirstName   " "   this.LastName;}  }
