populating a select with options

[Les Stockton]

I'm new to Angular 5.  I created a service that successfully builds an observable option of array of type from my data model.  I've verified that I received data.

but I can't seem to populate a select with options.

To simplify things, I created an simple array in my typescript and try to use that in the option tag instead.  It still wont work.  So I must be something wrong.  Please help.

here's the definition of the array in typescript:

 classificiations = [

     { ClassificationId: null, Name: 'None' },

     { ClassificationId: '1', Name: 'Classifified' },

     { ClassificationId: '2', Name: 'Simsec' },

     { ClassificationId: '3', Name: 'Confidential' },

     { ClassificationId: '4', Name: 'Secret' },

     { ClassificationId: '5', Name: 'Top Secret' }];

and then here's the markup in html:

                         <select

                                    name="ddlRequestClassification2">

                          <option *ngFor="let itm of classifications"

                                      [value]="itm.ClassificationId">{{itm.Name}}</option>

                        </select>

I had referenced ngModel in the select, but took that out just to see if it would simplify things more, but that didn't improve things either.
