<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I am binding an MVC dropodown and filtering a list from the selected value of dropdown.<br />
<br />
However the selected value is not being retained on postback.<br />
<br />
I have an index view and the controller initially loads a full list. &nbsp; I then have an index &quot;post&quot; method <br />
that takes the selected ID from dropdown to filter the list.<br />
<br />
The dropdown list is wrapped inside a form post tag like this<br />
<br />
&nbsp;&lt;% using (Html.BeginForm(&quot;Index&quot;, &quot;customers&quot;, FormMethod.Post, null))<br />
<br />
Is this the correct approach? &nbsp; I am sure it is something to do with postback

I am binding an MVC dropodown and filtering a list from the selected value of dropdown.

However the selected value is not being retained on postback.

I have an index view and the controller initially loads a full list.   I then have an index "post" method 
that takes the selected ID from dropdown to filter the list.

The dropdown list is wrapped inside a form post tag like this

 <% using (Html.BeginForm("Index", "customers", FormMethod.Post, null))

Is this the correct approach?   I am sure it is something to do with postback

A web application framework (WAF) is a software framework that is designed to support the development of dynamic websites, web applications, web services and web resources. The framework aims to alleviate the overhead associated with common activities performed in web development. Most common web application frameworks are defined by specific subsets, including ASP.NET, JaveEE, Symfony, ColdFusion Language (CFML), Laravel, jQuery and AngularJS, or for the related languages, including .NET, PHP, JavaScript, Java, Perl, Python, Ruby, C++ and C.

Web Frameworks

The successor to Active Server Pages, ASP.NET websites utilize the .NET framework to produce dynamic, data and content-driven web applications and services. ASP.NET code can be written using any .NET supported language. As of 2009, ASP.NET can also apply the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern to web applications

ASP.NET

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
