Getting a selectd item back from a MVC dropdown list view ?
I have a drop down list that I populate in my MVC controller with the following code.
var allCustomers = _customerService.GetCustom
var customerList = new List<SelectListItem>();
foreach (var cr in allCustomers)
{
if (!cr.IsAdmin())
{
var item = new SelectListItem()
{
Text = cr.Email,
Value = cr.Id.ToString()
};
customerList.Add(item);
}
}
ViewData["CustomerID"] = customerList;
In the cshtml file the drop down list is populated with the following code.
@Html.DropDownList("Custom
Everything is working just fine.
My question is how do you return the selected value from the drop down list to the controller?
var allCustomers = _customerService.GetCustom
var customerList = new List<SelectListItem>();
foreach (var cr in allCustomers)
{
if (!cr.IsAdmin())
{
var item = new SelectListItem()
{
Text = cr.Email,
Value = cr.Id.ToString()
};
customerList.Add(item);
}
}
ViewData["CustomerID"] = customerList;
In the cshtml file the drop down list is populated with the following code.
@Html.DropDownList("Custom
Everything is working just fine.
My question is how do you return the selected value from the drop down list to the controller?
Well you would do it with ajax:
$('#CustomerID').change(function(){
var th = $(this):
var itemval = th.children('option:selected').val();
$.ajax({
url: 'controller_url',
type: 'either post or get' // eg. : type:'post',
data: 'data='+itemval,
success: function(data){
// do something with server response here.
}
})

if you use MVC, you should have some kind of service call from your client side (ajax maybe) passing relevant data to the service, via json format or xml or whatever.
