title: Angular 2 selecting option from select list based on passed in parameter
body: <p>Hi hope someone can advise what I am missing.</p>
  
  <p>In my plunker demo I have an edit button that on clicking gives a static id of 2 right now. (this simulates an id parameter coming into this component in my real project)</p>
  
  <p>What I am trying to do is take the passed in id and find the user and select them in the dropdownlist so it then populates my other fields, like it currently does if you just select a user from the select list.</p>
  
  <p>In my code I can see I have the id and can find the full name that matches.I can also populate the id field, but not set the select list selected value to the full name any assistance appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Html currently showing dropdownlist and id field with two way databinding</p>
  
  <pre><code>  &lt;select [(ngModel)]="tradesman"&gt;
  &lt;option&gt;Select&lt;/option&gt;
  &lt;option [ngValue]="v" *ngFor='let v of _tradesmen'&gt;{{ v.fullname}}&lt;/option&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p></p>
