Hi bigbear,
Since you are not using Fom Post method you have to make Ajax call and pass the dropdownlist value to the ActionResult and do rest of code.
Check the below example.
HTML
<html>
<head>
<title>Index</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.2/css/bootstrap.min.css" />
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
$('#btnRemoveRole').click(function () {
var userid = $("#ddlAdmins").val();
if (userid != "") {
$.ajax({
url: "Home/RemoveRole",
data: { id: userid },
type: "POST",
success: function (response) {
},
error: function () {
alert("Error");
}
});
}
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<%using (Html.BeginForm())
{%>
<div class="panel panel-default">
<div class="panel-heading">
Choose Administrator</div>
<div class="panel-body">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4">
<%:Html.DropDownListFor(a => a.UserId, new SelectList(Model.lstAdmins, "UserId", "Name"), new { @class = "form-control", @id = "ddlAdmins" })%>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="panel panel-default">
<div class="panel-body">
<div class="clearfix">
</div>
<div class="row">
<%for (var i = 0; i < Model.lstUsers.Count(); i++)
{%>
<div class="col-md-1">
<%:Html.CheckBoxFor(u => Model.lstUsers[i].SelectedUsers) %>
<label>
<%:Html.DisplayFor(u => Model.lstUsers[i].Name)%>
