how to get DropDownList view selected value in controller

[Amitkumar]

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Submit(HttpPostedFileBase files,)
{
if (files != null && files.ContentLength > 0)
{
var filename = Path.GetFileName(files.FileName);
MemoryStream target = new MemoryStream();
files.InputStream.CopyTo(target);
byte[] data = target.ToArray();

//"Reconcile" is from DropDown1(Cabinate) and  "Microsoft" is DropDown2(Publisher)

CheckInDoc( "Reconcile", "Microsoft", filename , data);
　
}
return RedirectToAction("Result");
}





<form method="post" action='@Url.Action("Submit")' style="width:45%">
<h3>Cabinate</h3>
@(Html.Kendo().DropDownList()
.Name("Cabinate")
.DataTextField("Text")
.DataValueField("Value")
.Events(e => e.Change("change"))
.BindTo(new List<SelectListItem>() {
new SelectListItem() {
Text = "Selet Cabinate",
Value = "-1"
},
new SelectListItem() {
Text = "Reconcile",
Value = "1"
},
new SelectListItem() {
Text = "Discovery",
Value = "2"
}
})
.Value("-1")
)
<h3>Folder</h3>
@(Html.Kendo().DropDownList()
.Name("Folder")
.BindTo(new List<string>() { "Select Publisher", "Microsoft", "Telerik", "Redhate" })
)
　
<div class="demo-section">
@(Html.Kendo().Upload()
.Name("files")
)
<p>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" class="k-button" />
</p>
</div>
</form>

Anyways finally I used
FormCollection to get the post data. Let me know if someone has better idea.
I am newbie

Thanks

Hello,

Did you try to add a string Cabinate parameter to the Submit Action method. This will tell the MVC framework to map the posted values to the method's parameters. The other option is to retrieve the posted values manually using the FormCollection, like you've already done.
