DropDownList in HTML
Helper in MVC
It is little
bit tricky to create dropdown list in MVC using HTML Helper class. As we know
that in general dropdown list we show data in Text and Value format.
Similarly here
we have to create a class which contains the property for Text and Value.
For Example:-
In this
example I am creating dropdown list for countries. In which I am taking CID as
a value field and CName as a Text Field.
Create controller
name home and method index and create view for index method.
To add
properties, add class and give it name country and declare two properties CID
and CName.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
namespace MvcApplication7
{
public class country
{
public int CID { get; set; }
public string CName { get; set; }
}
}
Now go to
your index view and create a list of type country and add Items in this list.
