I have a DropDownList and a button on my View. On click of a button, I want to pass the selected DropDown value to the controller. How to do this?
View code is as below:
@model Sample2.Models.LeaveType
@{
ViewBag.Title = "Status of Application";
}
@{
List<SelectListItem> listItems = new List<SelectListItem>();
listItems.Add(new SelectListItem
{
Text = "All",
Value = "A",
Selected = true
});
listItems.Add(new SelectListItem
{
Text = "Recommended",
Value = "R"
});
listItems.Add(new SelectListItem
{
Text = "Sanctioned",
Value = "S"
});
}
<table>
<tr>
<td>
@Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.LeaveType1, listItems, "-- Select Status --")
</td>
<td>
@using (Html.BeginForm("Index", "Home", FormMethod.Get))
{
<input type="submit" value="Show" />
}
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Controller code is like this:
public ActionResult Index(string Id)
{
using (var context = new Admin_TestEntities())
{
var data = context.Leave_GetDetails(Id).ToList();
return View(data.AsEnumerable().ToList());
}
}
** Edited **
After suggestions, I changed the code as below and it is working:
@using (Html.BeginForm("Index", "Home", FormMethod.Post))
{
@Html.DropDownList("Id", listItems)
<input type="submit" value="Show" />
}
