you can pass your data for dropdownlist by ViewBag:

ViewBag.ProfileId = new SelectList(db.UserProfiles, "Id", "Username");

and get in your view :

@Html.DropDownList("ProfileId", String.Empty)

or another example :
Controller

public ActionResult Index()
{
            List<SelectListItem> obj1 = new List<SelectListItem>();
            obj1.Add(new SelectListItem { Text = "Text1", Value = "1" });
            obj1.Add(new SelectListItem { Text = "Text2", Value = "2" });
            obj1.Add(new SelectListItem { Text = "Text3", Value = "3" });
            List<SelectListItem> obj2 = new List<SelectListItem>();
            obj2.Add(new SelectListItem { Text = "Text1", Value = "1" });
            obj2.Add(new SelectListItem { Text = "Text2", Value = "2" });
            obj2.Add(new SelectListItem { Text = "Text3", Value = "3" });
            ViewBag.State1 = obj1;
            ViewBag.State2 = obj2;
            return View();
}

View

@Html.DropDownList(“State1”)
@Html.DropDownList(“State2”)

but in my opinion better way is using ViewModel for this issue .
