I am using mvc3 and I have a drop down list in my view.
@Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.State,
new SelectList(Model.StateList, "Value", "Text"))
Is there a way of setting the selected value in the View?

Extending on what Romias said, in your controller, set Model.State to whatever value you want. If you wanted 'WI', then Model.State should equal that.
Controller:
public ActionResult Index()
{
var m = new TestViewModel();
m.State = "WI";
return View(m);
}
View:
@Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.State, new SelectList(Model.StateList, "Value", "Text", Model.State))
Just do:
@Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.State, new SelectList(Model.StateList, "Value", "Text", Model.State))
