title: Pass SelectedValue of DropDownList in Html.BeginForm() in ASP.NEt MVC 3
body: <p>This is my View Code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>@using(Html.BeginForm(new { SelectedId = /*SelectedValue of DropDown*/ })) {
  
   &lt;fieldset&gt;
  
       &lt;dl&gt;
         &lt;dt&gt;
             @Html.Label(Model.Category)
         &lt;/dt&gt;
         &lt;dd&gt;
          @Html.DropDownListFor(model =&gt; Model.Category, CategoryList)
         &lt;/dd&gt;
      &lt;/dl&gt;
  
   &lt;/fieldset&gt;
   &lt;input type="submit" value="Search" /&gt;
  
  
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>As code shown  I need to pass the <code>dropdown</code> selected value to the action in <code>BeginForm()</code> Html helper. What is your suggestion?</p>
