ASP.NET MVC Dropdownlist retain the selected value in the browser after post
- by MLabib
I build a drop down list in my aspx page as following
<%= Html.DropDownList("SelectedRole", new SelectList((IEnumerable)Model.roles, "RoleId", "RoleName", Model.SelectedRole), "")%>
it works fine for first Get and the first default value is selected; then I select item from the drop down list and submit the form.
the controller bind the values correctly,
public ActionResult About([Bind] Roles r)
{
//r.SelectedRole = the selected value in the page.
//Roles r = new Roles();
r.roles = new List<Role>();
r.roles.Add(new Role(1, "one"));
r.roles.Add(new Role(2, "two"));
r.roles.Add(new Role(3, "three"));
r.roles.Add(new Role(4, "four"));
r.SelectedRole = null;
return View(r)
}
Then I nullify the selected item and return my view, but still the previous selected Item is selected (although I did nullify it)
Any Idea if I am doing something wrong or it is a bug in MVC?
I am using ASP.NET MVC 1
Thanks
