how to perform searching operation use dropdownlistin mvc 5

All you will need to do is call a function on your search button click something like this


You can also make use of Json and send the Json object to the controller if there are many search criteria are involved.

hi shreya,

Can you be more specific with your requirement. According to my understanding, it seems that you have multiple dropdown and want to get the selected values of all, on click of Search button at actionmethod.
Here one way I can suggest is if your name attribute of all dropdown is available as a paramter of you AcitionMethod then yours selected value in dropdown will be avialable to you parameter.

//View
  @using (Html.BeginForm("Search", "Home"))
        {
            @Html.DropDownList("D1", new List() {  new SelectListItem(){ Text = "A", Value = "A" }
 ,new SelectListItem(){ Text = "B", Value = "B" }});
            @Html.DropDownList("D2", new List() {  new SelectListItem(){ Text = "ABC", Value = "1" }
 ,new SelectListItem(){ Text = "DEF", Value = "2" } });
           

           
   }
----------------------------------------------------------
//Action Method
public ActionResult Search(string D1, string D2)
{
         //Code here
         return View();
}
Now D1, D2 parameter will have respective selected value
Plz mark it as answered if it solves your problem. I just created as demo sample to convey how it works
