Answer 1

HTML Helper:

 @Html.DropDownList("MyType",EnumHelper.GetSelectList(typeof(ImageType)),"Select My Type", new { @class = "form-control", onChange = "myFunction(this)" })

Javascript:

<script>
function myfunction(_this)
{
   var selectedValue = $(_this).val();
}
</script>

PS: you can access the element using _this. val() is going to give you the selected value.
