Hi:
I am new to using Kendo UI. I am using MVC4  (VS 2012) with Kendo Mvc wrappers. I am trying to display a DropdownlistboxFor associated with a model item. Then during listbox change event i want to save that model (in the controller). I have hardcoded listbox items added to the listbox like in the code below. Should i post an ajax call which will call a controller method that saves model? How do i do this ajax post with model data sent to the controller action with the combo box updated data?

Is there any other way?
Thank you so much for your help.

=========================================
My model code is:
public class PackageModelView
    {
        public int DefaultReason { get; set; }
}
=========================================
View code (say named file Package.cshtml) has:
@using .<model namespace directory>
@model PackageModelView

@(Html.Kendo().DropDownListFor(model => model.DefaultAction)
                        .DataTextField("Text")
                        .DataValueField("Value")
                        .BindTo(new List<SelectListItem>()
                        {
                            new SelectListItem()
                            {
                                Text = "Active",
                                Value = "1"
                            },
                            new SelectListItem()
                            {
                                Text = "In-active",
                                Value = "2"
                            }
                        })
                       .Value("1")
                    )

Hello Arul,

You should proceed the same way as you would do if you are using a regular form element with select list inside or an ajax form.

http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_form_action.asp

Or through jQuery:

http://api.jquery.com/submit/

The name attribute of the window is automatically assigned to be the same as the property name that you are going to edit.

Kind Regards,
