Hi helmishariff,

 

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion forums.

 

You can get the selected value of the GDD via script in the ClientSideOnClick event. “args._text “ returns currently selected items text. To retrieve the currently selected items text in serverside, first append the text to textbox and then access it in the action using its controls id. Please refer the below given code snippet to achieve this,

<code>

[Script]

function ClientSideOnClick(sender, args) {

        var text = args._text;//return selected text

    }

 

[Controller]

[HttpPost]

        public ActionResult Index(string genericdropdownId)

        {

            //genericdropdownId returns text

            return View();

        }

</code>

 

Kindly try the above methods and let us know if you have any other queries.

 

Regards,

Hi,

I am unable to get the value from selected DropDownList in JavaScript.

My Snippet:
    function FromCountryChange(sender, args) {  //here both object (sender & args) is null
        $.ajax({
            url: '/PurchaseRequest/GetListOfStates',
            data: { countryCode: 1 },
            error: function (a, b, c) {
                debugger;

            },
            success: function (data1, b, c) {
                debugger;
                $("#FromState").ejDropDownList({
                    dataSource: data1
                });
            }
        });
    }

@Html.EJ().DropDownListFor(model => model.FromCountry).CascadeTo("FromState").WatermarkText("Select From Country").AllowVirtualScrolling(true).VirtualScrollMode(VirtualScrollMode.Normal).DropDownListFields(f => f.Value("Code")).DropDownListFields(f => f.Text("Name")).EnableAnimation(true).EnableIncrementalSearch(true).CaseSensitiveSearch(false).Width("400").ClientSideEvents(evt => evt.Change("FromCountryChange")).Datasource(ViewBag.Countries)
