best practice

Question

User-2017461817 posted

Hi all,

I'm working on a project in MVC 5 and was wondering if someone could suggest a best practice for adding an ajax dropdownlist that populates a paged list of data.

- Knockout?

- Some booststrap extenstion that I'm not aware of?

- Standard dropdownlist using a partialview and ajax controller?

The page uses a view model with several models. Not sure if that matters.

Thanks!

you can tried Bootstrap css and js for Dropdown. 

Other way could be - create a model property as list and you could bind the data in the view.

Hi aspdotnetnew,

Thanks for your post.

According to your description,

I'm working on a project in MVC 5 and was wondering if someone could suggest a best practice for adding an ajax dropdownlist that populates a paged list of data.

There is a lot of ways to bind dropdownlist in asp.net mvc  and maintaining dropdownlist state during postback some of them given below.

• Use viewbag property.
• Through view model.
• Use jquery .ajax i.e. asynchronous post back at selected index change of another dropdownlist.

Hope this helps you.
