below is code to add "book"

In admin controller





add view



38.12 min missing category


(40.25 min) add the selectedListItem to array to the ViewBag, the name put in the ViewBag is case sensitive.


(40.54 min) add the SelectedListItem to array to the viewbag


add category to the book form




get book and cat id back and save the book then display the cat

the important thing here is the "selectedCategoryID" has to be in the parm (case does not matter), otherwise it will be null.
