What portion in the code that you don't understand? If you are new to MVC then I will suggest you to start at the basic first before you go any further http://www.asp.net/mvc

But in that I don't understand what exactly you mean

Vincent Maverick Durano · Answer

Yes If you saw my post on your other thread you will that i'm using ViewBag which is pretty much the same as ViewData

Jithil John · Answer

Can I use ViewData concept for this?

@Santhakumar - That will not work in MVC That's only applicable in WebForms

Hi First you have to bind data like Text Value on dropdownlist Ex. EmpId EmpName 100 John 200 Mike 300 Miller Dropdownlist1.DataSource=ds.Tables[0].DefaultView; Dropdownlist1.DataValueField=EmpId; Dropdownlist1.DataTextField=EmpName; Dropdownlist1.DataBind(); you can get selected dropdwonlist text and value as below string text=Dropdownlist1.SelectedItem.Text; string value=Dropdwonlist1.SelectedItem.Value;
