Data Values in Dropdown

Hello,

You need to combine your value and text into another field and then you can use that to bind dropdownvalues,

var jsonResponse = "{\"status\":true,\"data\":[{\"id\":\"66\",\"name\":\"Amazon Shipping\"},{\"id\":\"37\",\"name\":\"Amazon Shipping 1 KG\"},{\"id\":\"62\",\"name\":\"Amazon Shipping 10 KG\"},{\"id\":\"52\",\"name\":\"Amazon Shipping 2 KG\"},{\"id\":\"159\",\"name\":\"Amazon Shipping 20 KG\"},{\"id\":\"53\",\"name\":\"Amazon Shipping 5 KG\"}]}"; ;
           
            var res = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(jsonResponse.ToString());

            var dropDownList = new List();
            foreach (var item in res.data)
            {
                var DropDownvalues = new DropDownList()
                {
                    Value = Convert.ToInt32(item.id),
                    Text = item.id + '-' + item.name
                };
                dropDownList.Add(DropDownvalues);
            }

public class Root
{
    public bool status { get; set; }
    public List data { get; set; }

}
public class Data
{
    public string id { get; set; }
    public string name { get; set; }
}

public class DropDownList
{
    public int Value { get; set; }
    public string Text { get; set; }
}

in above class we have created response with value - Text means you can see 

66 - Amazone Shipping,

37 - Amazon Shipping 1 KG 

you need to use dropDownList  to bind your dropdown, you can assing this list to viewBag or you can use this model in your view model to bind dropdown

Hi,

As suggested by Aravind, you have to deserialize the JSON string into Root object. Please check below code
 

            var content =
                "{\"status\":true,\"data\":[{\"id\":\"66\",\"name\":\"Amazon Shipping\"},{\"id\":\"37\",\"name\":\"Amazon Shipping 1 KG\"},{\"id\":\"62\",\"name\":\"Amazon Shipping 10 KG\"},{\"id\":\"52\",\"name\":\"Amazon Shipping 2 KG\"},{\"id\":\"159\",\"name\":\"Amazon Shipping 20 KG\"},{\"id\":\"53\",\"name\":\"Amazon Shipping 5 KG\"}]}";

            var objContent = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(content);

            DropDownList dropDown = new DropDownList();// Assuming this is your drop downlist
            dropDown.DataSource = objContent.data;
            dropDown.DataBind();

Hi, 

First, deserialize the JSON into Root. So you will get in status and data(list of objects)

Follow this to assign into DDL

DropDownList ddl = new DropDownList();// Assuming this is your drop downlist
ddl.DataSource = root.datas
ddl.DataBind();
