Asp.Net MVC dropdown

Hello Experts,

I am learning MVC so please help me.

I am using Entity Framework for CRUD operation.

When I generate Controller/ View for Products, it creates Index/ Edit/ Details/ Delete view.

What I need is, in Create View, it creates only one dropdown for "SubCategory", instead I want to have "Category" Dropdown
and after its selection "SubCategory" dropdown.

Your help is appreciated. Thanks

Ok now what I've done,

<div class="editor-label">
@Html.LabelFor(model => model.CategoryId, "Category")
</div>
<div class="editor-field">
@Html.DropDownList("CategoryId", String.Empty)
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.CategoryId)

</div>

and in controller,
ViewBag.CategoryId = new SelectList(db.Categories, "CategoryId", "CategoryName");

so it creates a Category dropdown, but I need subcategory dropdown to be filled based on the selection of Category.

>>Moving from Asp.Net to MVC is a bit difficult :)
>>As in Asp.Net, we could have AutoPostBack="true" and fill the Subcategory ddl.
