I don't think you could do it without using hidden field and jquery.

How can i pass dropdown selected text to controller without using jquery,Javascript
[httppost]
public ActionResult YourAction(formcollection product)
{
// DROPDOWN TEXT VALUE IS NULL
}

I don't follow you. What you expect from me. You have to either use Jquery or write your own Helper to do it if you do not want to use Jquery

How do you bind the dropdown in razor? Can you show me your complete razor view and action method code?

Member 11794209 16-Jul-15 10:02am

@model MvcApplication2.Models.EmployeeDetails

@using (Html.BeginForm()) {
@Html.LabelFor(m => m.name)
@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.name)

@Html.DropDownList("istateid", (SelectList)ViewBag.stateList, "--Choose Your State--")
@Html.DropDownList("icityid", (IEnumerable<SelectListItem>)ViewBag.cityList, "--Choose Your City--")
@Html.DropDownList("iareaid", (IEnumerable<SelectListItem>)ViewBag.areaList, "--Choose Your Area--")

<input type="submit" value="submit" />

}

IN CONTROLLER
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult postyourad(EmployeeDetails value)
{
we can get the normal textbox value directly and dropdown value will bind and i need to bind the dropdown text
}

OK. Why do you want to bind to text while you are having id as value. May be there might be a better way of what you are trying to. By default the model property will be bound to value. Are you updating database after submit. In that case you need only value ids not text. Can you explain

Member 11794209 16-Jul-15 10:26am

while saving i want to save the dropdown text in db and i want to bind that text in another view page in form loading [httpget]method

John C Rayan 16-Jul-15 10:51am

That's wrong. You should save the id in db and in the other page you should load the text from db for the id. You are violating normalization in db. You cannot do that. Let me know if you don't understand I can explain to you.

Member 11794209 17-Jul-15 1:28am

i want to save both id and text in the same table how can i do it

John C Rayan 17-Jul-15 4:12am

You should have a lookup table for dropdown list and load the ddl from the table. Then save only the id in another table and you can join the look up table to get the text from db. Do not save both id and text.

Member 11794209 17-Jul-15 9:44am

Can you let me know the model structure. I am expecting your model to have a collection in it.

Also let me know the action method with [httppost]

Member 11794209 17-Jul-15 10:39am

@model IEnumerable<mvcapplication3.models.loginmodel>
