DropDownList getSelectedValue

I am currently working on a MVC Project and I made following static DropDownBox in a View:

@Html.DropDownList("Art", new List<SelectListItem>
{
    new SelectListItem{Text="Orginal Vertrag",Value="Orginal"},
    new SelectListItem{Text="Anlage",Value="Anlage"},
    new SelectListItem{Text="Kündigung",Value="Kündigung"},
    new SelectListItem{Text="Sonstiger",Value="Sonstiges"}
}, "Dokumentenart auswählen")

I want to get the SelectedValue in a Controller Class. But if I try Art.getSelectedValue() it underlines the code line. So my Question is how do I get that SelectedValue(). So could you please help me?

Solution

  • Assuming that you POST a form, you could try to get the selected value like below:

    var selectedArt = Request.Form["Art"];

    Otherwise if you make a GET request, you should look in the query string parameters.
