Exclude/Remove Value from MVC 5.1 EnumDropDownListFor

You could construct a drop down list:

@{ // you can put the following in a back-end method and pass through ViewBag
   var selectList = Enum.GetValues(typeof(UserStatus))
                        .Cast<UserStatus>()
                        .Where(e => e != UserStatus.Pending)
                        .Select(e => new SelectListItem 
                            { 
                                Value = ((int)e).ToString(),
                                Text = e.ToString()
                            });
}
@Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.Status, selectList)
