I have a dropdownlist with all UF of Brazil. For example:
public IEnumerable<SelectListItem> ObterUF()
{
return IncluirSelecioneNoDropDown(new List<SelectListItem>()
{
new SelectListItem()
{
Value = "CE",
Text = "CE"
}
}.AsEnumerable<SelectListItem>());
}
How do I persist in my database the value passed by the list in my html?
You can create a class to be your Model that will contain the properties you want to persist and a property of type list for the user to select the UF like this:
public class SeuCadastroViewModel
{
public SeuCadastroViewModel(IEnumerable<SelectListItem> listaDeUFs)
{
ListaUFs = listaDeUFs;
}
//Propriedades do cadastro
public int ID { get; set; }
//Lista de UFs
public int IdUFSelecionado { get; set; }
public IEnumerable<SelectListItem> ListaUFs { get; set; }
}
In the Controller you can get a list of your UFs and pass it to your Model , which will finally fill the list.
public class SeuController: Controller
{
public ActionResult Create()
{
//Recupera uma lista de UFs
var listaDeUFs = ObterUF();
return View(new SeuCadastroViewModel(listaDeUFs));
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Create(SeuCadastroViewModel seuCadastroViewModel)
{
//Recupera o UF selecionado e salva no banco de dados
var uf = ObterUFporId(seuCadastroViewModel.IdUFSelecionado);
...
}
}
In your View you could render DropDownListFor like this:
@Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.IdUFSelecionado, Model.ListaUFs)
