Question

Could you help me how to send selected option’s parameter to controller? Here is my view:

<select>
   @foreach(var item in Model.City)
   {      
      <option>@Html.DisplayFor(x => item.Name)</option>

   }
</select>

Answer 1

so, in your view you would have something like:

@model MyModel

@using(Html.BeginForm()) {

  <select id="City" name="City">
    @foreach(var c in Model.City)
    {
      <option value="@c.Id">@c.Name</option>
    }
  </select>

  <input type="submit" value="Post data to controller" />

}

in your controller, all you have to do is have an action with the same name, but with a different signature:

either:

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Edit(string City) { ... }

or you can pass the entire Model

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Edit(MyModel model) { 
  string city = model.City;
}

but with such question, I would suggest you to spend some time with the free ASP.NET Course from PluralSight that you can find in the ASP.NET oficial website:

courses are in the right sidebar of each page
