                conn.order_data.Add(data);

        }
        [Key]
        public int ORDA_ID { get; set; }
        [ForeignKey("state")]
        public Nullable<int> State_STATE_Id { get; set; }
        [Required]
        [DisplayName("Miasto")]

        public string ORDA_CityName { get; set; }

        public virtual state state { get; set; }
        public virtual ICollection<orders> orders { get; set; }
    }

}

and this is model which contains dropdown list data

public partial class state
    {
        public state()
        {
            this.order_data = new HashSet<order_data>();
        }

        public int STATE_Id { get; set; }
        public string STATE_Name { get; set; }

        public virtual ICollection<order_data> order_data { get; set; }
    }

By the way, i need to pass a orderid into controller too and i dont know how, becouse id always equals 0

Please, help

Answer 1

Isn’t orderId (ORDA_ID) a KEY in your order_data table ? So it’s being assigned when you insert a row into the table. So either I don’t fully understand your question or you’re not trying to pas orderId into the controller.

after you execute

conn.order_data.Add(data);
conn.SaveChanges();

you will be able to get your ORDA_ID by :

int orderId = data.ORDA_ID;

if this is what you need
