Hi everyone!!

I am usin MVC 1.0 anc C#.

I want to use a dropdownlist to display some data, and select one of them, then press the button "Create" and the value goes to the DB.

i tried to do sth, but all what i did, is to display the data in the dropdownlist in the view, But for saving the selected value, i ally don't know how to proceed, am on this more than 6h today, i am totalled !!

Please if Some one has a simple solution, i am new developper in MVC, so dont be Harsh ;)

here is the code:

for the view :

<p>
                <label for="id_imputation">Imputations:</label>
                <%= Html.DropDownList("imputations", (IEnumerable<SelectListItem>)ViewData["imputations"])%>
                

            </p>
            <p>
                <input type="submit" value="Create" />
            </p>
        </fieldset>


    <% } %>


    <div>
        <%=Html.ActionLink("Back to List", "Index") %>
    </div>


</asp:Content>

and the COntroller :

        public ActionResult Create()
        {

           

            var impu = from im in _db.T_imputation select im.id_imputation;
            ViewData["imputations"] = new SelectList(impu.ToList());
            ViewData.Model = new T_Pointage_Materiel();
            return View();
        } 

        //
        // POST: /PointageMateriel/Create

        [AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
        public ActionResult Create([Bind(Exclude = "id_pointage")] T_Pointage_Materiel PMACreer)
        {
            try
            {
                // TODO: Add insert logic here
                UpdateModel(PMACreer);
                //PMACreer.T_imputation.id_imputation = ;
                
                PMACreer.T_Materiel.Num_anael = "1";
                _db.AddToT_Pointage_Materiel(PMACreer);
                
                _db.SaveChanges();
                ViewData["rr"] = PMACreer.Compteur;
                return RedirectToAction("Index");
            }
            catch
            {
                return View();
            }
        }
