asp.net mvc - How to Pass Kendo DropDownList DataTextField value to Controller -

i have kendo dropdownlist on view , want pass datatextfield value controller , pass , them on labels in view. although can pass datavaluefield values controller, cannot pass datatextfield values. tried apply different scenarios not. idea? on other hand, if not possible, should datatextfield values populated again on controller , return other view?

view:

@model issueviewmodel  ... @html.labelfor(m => m.projectid) @(html.kendo().dropdownlist()     .name("projectid")     .datatextfield("projectname")     .datavaluefield("projectid")     .datasource(source =>     {         source.read(read =>         {             read.action("getprojects", "issue");         });     }) ) 

controller:

public jsonresult getprojects() {     var projects = repository.projects;     return json(projects.select(m => new { projectid = m.id, projectname = m.description }), jsonrequestbehavior.allowget); }   /* want pass datatextfield values  method , return them createmanagement view */ public actionresult create(issueviewmodel issueviewmodel) {     return redirecttoaction("createmanagement", issueviewmodel); } 

change controller this:

public jsonresult getprojects() {     var projects = repository.projects;     return json(projects.select(m => new selectlistitem { projectid = m.description, projectname = m.description }).tolist(), jsonrequestbehavior.allowget); } 

since dropdownlist uses datatextfield user , uses datavaluefield server communications, have use datatextfield value both. then can use next operations.

edit: if need both values on controller, change jsonresult method :

return json(projects.select(m => new selectlistitem { projectid = m.description + "," + m.id , projectname = m.description }).tolist(), jsonrequestbehavior.allowget); 

now can use both in next operations spiting them like:

var _both = value.split(',');//value: returned value view
