knockout.js ASP.NET data-bind to dropdownlist (Visual Studio 2008)

I'm attempting to data-bind a value to an ASP.NET DropDownList but the server complains that it doesn't recognize the data-bind attribute:

<%=Html.DropDownList("accountSiteInstanceId", ViewData["degreePrograms"] as SelectList, new { @data-bind = "value: DegreeProgramId" } ) %>

I get the following error: Compiler Error Message: CS0746: Invalid anonymous type member declarator. Anonymous type members must be declared with a member assignment, simple name or member access.

change the dash into an underscore and it will convert it back to dash on runtime.

The problem is the dash. Use dictionary based notation:

<%= Html.DropDownList("accountSiteInstanceId", ViewData["degreePrograms"] as SelectList, new Dictionary<string, object>
                {
                        {"data-bind", 
                        "DegreeProgramId"}
                }) %>
