Display value from controller based on two dropdown selection on the view(when select both of them at the same time). MVC asp.net

On the product output insert page, when user select from two dropdown lists(depoId and materialId) at the same time, I would like to display the stock quantity (stockAmount) of the product with the help of material id and the depot id. I do not know how I display on the view part and how I write based on two dropdownlist selection.

asp.NET mvc, get model list values from view

I am new to mvc and am trying to do something like in the below image (im not using partial views).
I have an IEnumerable property on Model
Like in this image, (i have not enough reputation to show image directly)
but on controller if i put FormCollection as parameter to accepting post method when i process same name fields i get an extra character ',', which might be also used by user...
Any idea....

As discussed.. here is how i would approach this.
I have a view model to hold the questions and answers and the selected question to which we will be adding answers.
public class CurrentViewModel
{
public string QuestionSelected { get; set; }
public List<SelectListItem> Questions { get; set; }
public List<string> Answers { get; set; }
}
Then in your controller we have an action to return the view, an action to get the answers for the selected question, an action to add a new answer for the selected question and also a save method which just demonstrates the final model content posted.
public class TestController : Controller
{
public ActionResult Test()
{
var model = new CurrentViewModel()
{
Questions = new List<SelectListItem>()
{
new SelectListItem()
{
Text = "Question 1",
Value = "Question 1"
},
new SelectListItem()
{
Text = "Question 2",
Value = "Question 2"
}
},
Answers = new List<string>()
};
return View("Test", model);
}
public PartialViewResult GetAnswers(CurrentViewModel model)
{
model.Answers = new List<string>();
//model.Answers = Get Answers from some service based on QuestionSelected?!
model.Answers.Add("Answer 1");
model.Answers.Add("Answer 2"); //Add manuall for example
return PartialView("_Answers", model);
}
public PartialViewResult AddAnswer(CurrentViewModel model)
{
model.Answers.Add("Add answer here...");
return PartialView("_Answers", model);
}
public ActionResult SaveQuestionsAndAnswers(CurrentViewModel model)
{
if (model.Questions.Count == 0)
{
}
return View("Test", model);
}
}
Then we have a main view for showing the questions dropdown and a partial view that will show us the answers.
Main View
#model TestMVC.Models.CurrentViewModel
#{
ViewBag.Title = "Test";
}
<link href="~/Content/StyleSheets/jquery-ui.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script src="~/Content/Scripts/jquery-2.2.3.js"></script>

{
#Html.Label("lblQ", "Questions", new { #class = "form-control inline" })
#Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.QuestionSelected, Model.Questions, "Select--", new { #class = "form-control inline", id="ddQuestions" })

<button id="btnSave" type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" style="margin-left: 4px; margin-bottom: 10px; width: 7%">save</button>
</div>
}
</div>
<script>
$("#ddQuestions").on("change", function() {
var myData = $('#frmQandA').serialize();
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "#Url.Action("GetAnswers", "Test")",
data: myData,
contentType: 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8',
success: function(data) {
$("#divAnswers").html(data);
}
})});
</script>
Partial View
#model TestMVC.Models.CurrentViewModel
<link href="~/Content/StyleSheets/jquery-ui.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script src="~/Content/Scripts/jquery-2.2.3.js"></script>
<script src="~/Content/Scripts/jquery-ui-1.11.4.js"></script>
<div>
#for (var counter = 0; counter <= (Model.Answers.Count - 1); counter++)
{
#Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Answers[counter], new {#class = "form-control inline"})
}
<div style="margin-top: 1%;">
<button id="btnAddAnswer" type="button" class="btn btn-primary" style="margin-left: 4px; margin-bottom: 10px; width: 7%">Add</button>
</div>
</div>
<script>
$("#btnAddAnswer").on("click", function() {
var myData = $('#frmQandA').serialize();
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "#Url.Action("AddAnswer", "Test")",
data: myData,
contentType: 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8',
success: function (data) {
$("#divAnswers").html(data);
}
})});
</script>
I've tested this locally and it works. In a nutshell, when we need a new answer adding to the model, we add it in server side so we can then bind to the model in the browser. We do this via an Ajax call on the change event of the questions drop down. The partial view iterates through each answer via a counter which generates a unique id and textbox for each answer. Adding a new answer is also achieved via ajax. These can then all be posted back.
Hope that helps.

Create function not saving data to database

I'm trying to get the create function to have the user selected values entered into the database. When the create button is pushed, no error is thrown but, the data is not populated. I'm pretty sure my frequency fields are causing the issue but have been unable to come with a solution.
There are two different types of frequencies a user can select depending upon their "Notification Name" selection. One selection has 3 separate fields for a numerical value, time frame (week, month etc.), and a before/after selection. The other simply states instantaneous as a static text field. Regardless of which option is chosen the frequency data should be populated into one cell within the database which is then separated using piping where necessary. I'm still pretty new to C# MVC so any help is greatly appreciated.
Controller:
[HttpPost]

}
ViewBag.recipientTypeId = new SelectList(db.RecipientType, "Id", "recipientRole", notificationType.recipientTypeId);
return View(notificationType);

Have you placed a break-point on the method? And if so, is it triggering?
If not, try this...
From what I remember, all Controllers has a default parameter of ID which is set in the RouteConfig.cs file (App_Start/RouteConfig.cs).
There's a couple of ways to go from there.
1. Give the controller the ID parameter (e.g. (int ID))
2. Set the route value via the Route attribute
To do this you need to -
A. Add the following at the top of your RouteConfig.cs / RegisterRoutes method.
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.MapMvcAttributeRoutes();
//...
}
B. Add
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
[Route(#"Create/")]
public ActionResult Create([Bind(Include = ...
{
I would also suggest putting a break-point at the beginning of the method to see if its hitting it.
http://www.tutorialsteacher.com/mvc/routing-in-mvc
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.mvc.routecollectionattributeroutingextensions.mapmvcattributeroutes%28v=vs.118%29.aspx

Is the Id key manually assigned? If not (for example, if it's an IDENTITY field), you shouldn't be binding it - remove Id from [Bind(Include = "...")].

Passing value from page to Html.ActionLink

My problem is:
I have two fields, and when i call my #Html.Actionlink method it send a null value for these two parameters.
This is my page code:
<div id="new-skill" class="row">
<label for="Description">Descreva brevemente a sua habilidade:</label>
#Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.skill.Description, new { #class = "form-control" })
<label for="Name">Em qual categoria ela está?</label>
#Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.skill.Category.Name, new { #class = "form-control" })
<div class="text-center margin-top15">
#Html.ActionLink("Adicionar nova habilidade", "InsertNewSkill", new
{
professionalId = ViewBag.professionalId,
skillDescription = "Test Text",
categoryName = Model.skill.Category.Name
}, new
{
#class = ""
})
</div>
</div>
This is my InsertNewSkill method:
public ActionResult InsertNewSkill(int professionalId, string skillDescription, string categoryName)
{
initBusinessObjects();
var professional = professionalBusiness.GetById(professionalId);
var newSkill = new SkillModel { Description = skillDescription, Category = new SkillCategoryModel { Name = categoryName } };
skillBusiness.Insert(newSkill);
professional.Skills.Add(newSkill);
professionalBusiness.Update(professional);
return View();
}
What I must to do to achieve this (send the textbox values)?

Have you tried adding the controllerName to your actionLink?
#Html.ActionLink("Adicionar nova habilidade", "InsertNewSkill","CONTROLLER_NAME", new
{
professionalId = ViewBag.professionalId,
skillDescription = "Test Text",
categoryName = Model.skill.Category.Name
}, new
{
#class = ""
})

Without using jQuery / javascript, you should use a form to get those values back to the server.
#{using(Html.BeginForm("InsertNewSkill", "ControllerName", FormMethod.Get)){
<div id="new-skill" class="row">
<label for="Description">Descreva brevemente a sua habilidade:</label>
#Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.skill.Description, new { #class = "form-control" })
<label for="Name">Em qual categoria ela está?</label>
#Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.skill.Category.Name, new { #class = "form-control" })
#Html.Hidden("professionalId", ViewBag.professionalId)
<div class="text-center margin-top15">
<input type="submit" value="Adicionar nova habilidade"/>
}}
With that said, typically you should POST these values back to the server and then redirect to a new ActionMethod (Thus, the acronym PRG for Post, Redirect, Get).
