I want to display a dropdown in asp .net core Kendo Grid. In CarsViewModel I already have the values which needs to be displayed in dropdown so I do not need to do an ajax call to get dropdown values. I just want to call my partial which should render dropdown.
Here is my code for grid.

    @model CarsViewModel

<div>
    @(
        Html.Kendo().Grid<CarRowViewModel>(Model.Car)
        .Name("car-grid")
        .Columns(columns =>
        {
            //Columns
            columns.Template(
            $"<partial name="_Model" model="#= @item #" />"
            ).Title("Model Number").Width(200);
        })
        .Scrollable(s => s.Enabled(true).Height("auto"))
        .Sortable()
        .Filterable()
        .Editable(editable => editable.Mode(GridEditMode.InCell))
        .Pageable(p => p.PageSizes(true))
        .ToolBar(toolbar =>
        {
            toolbar.Excel();
            toolbar.Search();
        })
        .Excel(excel =>
        {
            excel.FileName($"{Model.Cars}.xlsx");
            excel.AllPages(true);
        }))

</div>

Here is my partial view which I am calling.

@model CarRowViewModel

 <select asp-for="SelectedModelNumber" asp-items="@Model.CarModelNumber"
        class="form-select" id="modeNumbers" title="Decision">
    <option selected disabled hidden>----- Select -----</option>
</select> 

When I run this code it does not display a dropdown for Model Number column. How do i render my partial view dropdown in kendo grid and get it to bind?
