Ok, I’ll probably be down-voted on this question but my heads not working and I can’t come up with a neat solution.
Basically, I need to hold a series of dropdownlists in a database or xml file which will eventually be displayed and used on a page. Problem is I also need them to cascade and hold state after a form submission in MVC. Has anyone come across an example of this type of thing?
by cascading do you mean hierarchical+autofiltering?
maybe this is the data structure you need:

autofiltering and “hold state” depends on the programming language.
