html.dropdownlistfor

I working with mvc 5. I am loading data from Database Using ORM and fill a drop down list from the controller, like this. ViewBag.Country_id = new SelectList(_db.Countries, "Country_id", "Description"); As i wanted an empty field first I am doing this in my HTML. <div class="form-group"> @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Countries, "Country", htmlAttributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" }) <div class="col-md-10"> @Html.DropDownList("Country_id", null, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "form-control" }, optionLabel: "Choose a Country") @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Country_id, "

I have the following class and want to filter the dropdown list based on a certain condition. Model Classes public class Option { public int OptionID { get; set;} public string OptionName { get; set; } public int TechnicalCharacteristicID { get; set; } public int LsystemID { get; set; } public virtual ICollection<OptionValue> OptionValues { get; set; } public virtual TechnicalCharacteristic TechnicalCharacteristic { get; set; } public virtual Lsystem Lsystem { get; set; } } public class OptionValue { public int OptionValueID { get; set; } public string OptionVal { get; set; } public int

I know there are multiple threads on how to get the selected value of a DropDownList. However I can't find the right way to get this value from a partial view in my controller. This is my partial view: @model List<aptest.Models.answer> @Html.DropDownList("dropdownlist", new SelectList(Model, "text", "text")) <button type="submit">next</button> In order to get dropdown value, wrap your select list in a form tag. Use models and DropDownListFor helper Razor View @model MyModel @using (Html.BeginForm("MyController", "MyAction", FormMethod.Post) { @Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.Gender, MyModel

In my viewModel I have: public class PersonViewModel { public Person Person { get; set; } public int SelectRegionId { get; set; } public IEnumerable<SelectListItem> Regions { get; set; } } But what do I have to do in my Controller/View to show the values? What I have now: Controller: public ActionResult Create() { var model = new ReUzze.Models.PersonViewModel { Person = new Person(), Regions = new SelectList(this.UnitOfWork.RegionRepository.Get(), "Id", "Name") }; return View(model); } View: <div class="form-group"> @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Person.Address.Region) @Html.DropDownListFor

PartialView @model OsosYeni23072012.Models.TblMeters <h3> Model.customer_name </h3> <h3> Model.meter_name </h3> Controller [HttpGet] public ActionResult MeterInfoPartial(string meter_id) { int _meter_id = Int32.Parse(meter_id); var _meter = entity.TblMeters.Where(x => x.sno == _meter_id).FirstOrDefault(); return PartialView("MeterInfoPartial", _meter); } Razor @Html.DropDownList("sno", new SelectList(Model, "sno", "meter_name"), "-- Select Meter --", new { id = "meters"}) @Html.Partial("MeterInfoPartial") I want to load partial view, if dropdownlist change. But I dont know How can I do this. I

Previously, I was using this in my model public List<SelectListItem> StatusList { get; set; } public string Status { get; set; } and this in my view to bind to the Dropdownlist @Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.Status, Model.StatusList, "") but if I want to use public List<ICode> StatusList { get; set; } where ICode is as below public interface ICode { int Id { get; set; } ICodeGroup CodeGroup { get; set; } string ShortDescription { get; set; } string LongDescription { get; set; } } What should I do in my view and model? Cybernate's solution works. You could also do: @Html.DropDownListFor
