MVC 2 DropDownListFor - Any troubles? - Part 2

Hello again. Today I want to talk about select list with optgroups. So, I need such a list. MVC has no support for it. What to do?

After a little browsing I decide wrote my own solution. It is based on code from fixed version of MVC DropDownList (you can read about it in Part 1).

Main features of the list:
of course - support of groups of options
you can use it with options and with groups of options in any order, iow first item can be option, then - option group, and at the end, again - option.
Lets go to quick code-review: option and group of options (SelectListItem3Option, SelectListItem3OptionGroup) inherited from base class SelectListItem3. So all collections you can create as collections of this base class and store options and optgroups simultaneously. All extension methods has suffix "3". List of extension methods are the same as in MVC.

In general - thats all. Enjoy yourself! All required code listed below:
