  1. POHow can I bind a DropDownList to an Ajax form with both post and get support?
    text
    copied!<p>I have a registration form for registering personal attributes. I am using both included <code>Ajax.BeginForm</code> function and also JSON to serialize the form. This form is updating the attributes and also showing the attributes if available in DB. So if a user enter the values and click the save button it is serializing the form and saving it into the db. When a user call the page; it is also using JSON to fill the form from DB if there is a available record if not just showing a blank form as usual.</p> <p>Please find a part of the View below.</p> <pre><code>@using (Ajax.BeginForm( "savepeople", "people", FormMethod.Post, new AjaxOptions { OnComplete = "savePicture" }, new { id = "frPeople" })) { @Html.ValidationSummary(true, "Problem during saving...") &lt;fr&gt; &lt;h2&gt; Personal Details&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;legend&gt;Person&lt;/legend&gt; &lt;div class="editor-label"&gt; @Html.LabelFor(model =&gt; model.People.Title) &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="editor-field"&gt; @Html.EditorFor(model =&gt; model.People.Title) @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model =&gt; model.People.Title) &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="editor-label"&gt; @Html.LabelFor(model =&gt; model.People.Description) &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="editor-field"&gt; @Html.EditorFor(model =&gt; model.People.Description) @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model =&gt; model.People.Description) &lt;/div&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;input id="saveMarker" type="submit" value="Save" /&gt; &lt;/p&gt; } </code></pre> <p>So I am using a model like:</p> <pre><code>namespace MyProject.Models { public class Profile { public People People { get; set; } // I am also referencing other models here... } public partial class People { public int PeopleId { get; set; } public Guid UserId { get; set; } public string Title { get; set; } public string Description { get; set; } // It has other attributes also... } </code></pre> <p>And controller has the classic post and get functions compatible with JSON to call and update the page.</p> <p><strong>My problem is: I am already able to handle these operations with <code>TextBox</code>'s but I want to add a predefined <code>DropDownList</code> to use it for both saving/updating and also showing the values if it has a saved record in db.</strong></p> <p>Do you have any idea about how tho handle this issue?</p>
