You can implement through jQuery: $(function () { $(#ddlEmployee).change(function () { var selectedText = $(this).find(option:selected).text(); var selectedValue = $(this).val(); alert(EMployee No:  + selectedText +  Name:  + selectedValue); }); }); Here ddlEmployee is ID of Employee dropdownlist.

first add dropdownlist on page . then in controller add Action Method of type JsonResult which takes id of your dropdownlist. using jquery ajax [ $.ajax ] you will call this Action Method . which will return you a text public JsonResult getdata( string id) { var s= ddd; return Json( s )); } $('select#job').change(function(){ var Id =$(this).val(); // Send Ajax call and get Task name var Url = 'http://example.com/Controller/Action/?id='+Id ; $.ajax({ url: Url  success: function(result) { $('input#taskname').val(result); } error: function(error) { alert(errorss); } }); });
