Hello!

Can anyone know? actually i am making login form in asp.net mvc using entity framework.

Hai its easy, you can easily get the value of dropdown on form submit, and put that value in the where condition to match with the database value. Once you checked the condition , redirect to the any page you want.

Kindly refer this article: https://www.aspsnippets.com/Articles/ASPNet-MVC-Get-DropDownList-Selected-Text-and-Selected-Value-in-Controller.aspx , for how to get the dropdownlist value on the form submit and the remaining part you change it slightly.

Hope the above information was helpful

Thanks

Step 1: Bind data to dropdown.

Step2: Send data from view to controller.

Note: You can use AJAX to bind data, if you don't want strongly type control like @Html.DropDownListFor

Here you can use Jquery for show data on your dropdown and get data from drop down.
