Hello to all,

I have three tables as BillingHead, BillingType, BillingSubType. All they have ID`s as primary key and names respectively. BillingHeadID is an foreign key for constraint for BillingType table, and BillingTypeID is an Foreign Key Constraint for BillingSubType.

Now I want an dropdown list of BillingHead names into Create View of Billing Type and BillingType name into BiullingSubType.

I am using the MVC 5 and EntityFramework6. And also using database first method.

Abhinav, I am new on MVC, and all the above link I know. that is not the solution. How can I directly do that with ViewBag?

In my BillingTypeController.cs I write following

ViewBag.Names = _entities.BillingHeads.OrderBy(b => b.Name).ToList();

How Can I retreive data from above in View?
