How to add list box content to a submit

[Jonas Züger]

Hi,

how can I add listbox items to a submit so my controller can get it?

{code}

        Html.EJ().ListBox("allWorkflowSteps").Datasource((IEnumerable<WorkflowStep>)ViewBag.AllWorkflowSteps)
                        .ListBoxFields(a => a.Text("Name"))
                        .AllowDrag(true).AllowDrop(true)

        public ActionResult Create([Bind(Include = "Id,Name")] Product product, string allWorkflowSteps)
        {
            if (ModelState.IsValid)
            {
                db.Products.Add(product);
                db.SaveChanges();
                return RedirectToAction("Index");
            }

            return View(product);
        }

{code}

Cheers,

Jonas

Hi Jonas,   

  

Thanks for using Syncfusion Products.   

  

We have created ListBoxFor sample with datasource fields.  After selecting listbox value, if you click create button, create post method is triggered and selected value is passed to the controller tosave data into database.  Please find the below code.      

 

We have used viewbag data source into listbox datasource which contains Id and Name fields.      

  

Create.cshtml    

    

@Html.EJ().ListBoxFor(model => model.Name).Datasource((IEnumerable<object>)ViewBag.datasource).ListBoxFields(df => df.ID("Id").Text("Name"))  // ListBox For   

      

  

We have created Listdatas controller using Listdata model class in which model contains Id and Name fields.  Now, we have saved listbox selected value(Name) into Listdatas table.  Please find the below code.        

  

TasksController.cs    

   

     private NORTHWNDEntities db = new NORTHWNDEntities(); // Database   

   

      List<Names> Name = new List<Names>();   // List   

           

        public ActionResult Create()    

        {   

            Name.Add(new Names { Id = "1", Name = "Sansa" });   

            …………..   

           ViewBag.datasource = Name;  // Listbox data   

            return View();   

        }   

   

        [HttpPost]   

        [ValidateAntiForgeryToken]   

        public ActionResult Create([Bind(Include = "Id,Name")] Listdata listdata)   

        {   // Triggered after clicked create button   

            if (ModelState.IsValid)   

            {   

                db.Listdatas.Add(listdata); // Add data into listdatas table   

                db.SaveChanges();           // Save the data   

                return RedirectToAction("Index");     

            }   

   

            return View(listdata);   

        }
