Question

Hi ..,

Can anyone tell me the solution for assigning Dropdown selected value as rowsperpage value in MVC3 WebGrid. how can i do this. Any help can be appreciated.

Answer 1

In your controller:

public ActionResult Index(int rowsperpage = 20)
{
    // Logic to take and skip whatever
}

In your view:

@using(Html.BeginForm("Index", "Home"))
{
    <select id="rowsperpage" name="rowsperpage">
        <option value="10">10</option>
        <option selected="selected" value="20">20</option>
        <option value="50">50</option>
    </select>
    <input type="submit" value="Update" />
}
