POHow to populate a textbox based on dropdown selection in MVC..?
text
Body
copied!<p>Hi I have created a table and connected it to MVC project through ADO.NET entity. After connecting I added the controller for the entity and it creates a set of cshtml files in VIEW folder in MVC project. But now What I need is to create a dropdownlist and textbox. I created the dropdownlist in a cshtml file and also wriiten the logic for it in the CONTROLLER. I can also create TEXTBOXES,but i'm facing the problem of poulating TEXTBOX based on the dropdownlist selection.</p> <p>My Model auto generated by VS 2012 is </p> <pre><code> public partial class Plan_S { public int PlanId_PK { get; set; } public string PlanNames { get; set; } public string Hours { get; set; } } </code></pre> <p>My Controller for displaying dropdownlist is `</p> <pre><code> public class dropdownController : Controller { private PivotEntities db = new PivotEntities(); // // GET: /dropdown/ public ActionResult Index() { ViewBag.plannames = new SelectList(db.Plan_S, "PlanId_PK", "PlanNames"); return View(); } protected override void Dispose(bool disposing) { db.Dispose(); base.Dispose(disposing); } public ActionResult ddl() { return View(new Plan_S()); } }` </code></pre> <p>My view.cshtml for displaying dropdownlist is </p> <p>`</p> <pre><code>@model Pivot.Models.Plan_S @{ ViewBag.Title = "Index"; } <h2>Index</h2> <div> @Html.DropDownList("PlanNames", "--select--") </div> </code></pre> <p>`</p> <p>Now When I select an item in the dropdownlist, it should automatically populate the corresponding value in the table. Here in my code, Plan_S table is autogenrated as Plan_S MODEL Class. But in Database I have set of values for these columns in table.</p> <pre><code>eg..) PlanId_PK | PlanNames | Hours 1 Plan1 1hrs 2 Plan2 2hrs 3 Plan3 3hrs </code></pre> <p>Here in this Plan_S table,</p> <p>PlanNames column is populated in the DROPDOWNLIST, When I select the Plan1 in DDL it should populate the texbox as 1hrs</p> <p>When I select the Plan2 in DDL it should populate the textbox as 2hrs.</p> <p>This is the logic i need and I can do this in asp webforms but it is tricky in MVC.</p> <p>I think that Jquery is needed for it.......</p> <p>Please help me, I had spent hours in finding this logic....</p> <p>Thanks in advance...</p>
