My view has a Select with elements(options) from my ViewModel.
@using (Html.BeginForm("NewUser", "Admin"))
{
<select multiple="" id="inputRole" class="form-control" size="6" name="inputRole">
@foreach (var item in Model.roller)
{
<option>@item.Name</option>
}
</select>
}
How can i get the selected value in my Controller?
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult NewUser(FormCollection formCollection)
{
String roleValue1 = formCollection.Get("inputRole");
}
This gives me a null value.
Try this to get the value of control in the formcollection
formCollection["inputRole"]
Your code becomes
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult NewUser(FormCollection formCollection)
{
String roleValue1 = formCollection["inputRole"];
}
