Hi.. friends, I'm making a new web application in MVC2 using Entity Framework. This is my first application in MVC. I have a table name tblState having 3 column staId Int, staName Varchar(200), cntId Int

This is my code to save state in Homecontroller..

C#

[HttpPost]
       public ActionResult addstate(tblState state)
       {
           try
           {
               entites.AddTotblState(state);
               entites.SaveChanges();
               return RedirectToAction("states");
           }
           catch
           {
               return View();
           }

       }

Here is Dropdown List in my view. The code for bind drop down is

Home controller :

C#

ViewData["name"] = (from n in entites.tblCountry
                         select new { n.cntId,n.cntName}).ToList();

View :

HTML

<%=Html.DropDownList("name", new SelectList((IEnumerable)ViewData["name"], "cntId", "cntName"))%>

But how to save the selected value of Dropdown List to save a new State under selected Country.

Please help me.

Thanks & Regards

Pass a parameter with the same name as your dropdown name

SQL

[HttpPost]
        public ActionResult addstate(string name, tblState state)
        {
            try
            {
                state.cntId=Convert.ToInt32(name);
                entites.AddTotblState(state);
                entites.SaveChanges();
                return RedirectToAction("states");
            }
            catch
            {
                return View();
            }

        }
