Populate Cascading Dropdown List in Asp.net MVC4 using Json and Jquery


I want to populate State dropdown on Country selection and on State Dropdown Selection populate City dropdown. I have three classes in model Country, State and City.
Country:
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
public class Country
    {
        [Key]
        public int CountryId { get; set; }
        public string CountryName { get; set; }
        public virtual ICollection<State> States { get; set; }
    }


State:
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;


using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.Schema;

public class State
    {
        [Key]
        public int StateId { get; set; }
        public string StateName { get; set; }
        [ForeignKey("Country")]
        public int CountryId { get; set; }
        public virtual Country Country { get; set; }
        public virtual ICollection<City> Citys { get; set; }
    }
City:
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.Schema;

public class City
    {
        [Key]
        public int CityId { get; set; }
        public string CityName { get; set; }
        [ForeignKey("State")]
        public int StateId { get; set; }
        public virtual State State { get; set; }
    }
After that I add a new Empty MVC Controller to project.
Populate Cascading Dropdown
                                                                   (Click to Enlarge)
Write the given code:
using MVCAPPLICATION.Models;
private ProjectContext db = new ProjectContext();
public ActionResult Index()
        {
            ViewBag.CountryId = new SelectList(db.Countrys, "CountryId", "CountryName");
            return View();
        }
        public JsonResult StateList(int Id)
        {
            var state = from s in db.States
                           where s.CountryId == Id
                           select s;
            return Json(new SelectList(state.ToArray(), "StateId", "StateName"), JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
        }
        public JsonResult Citylist(int id)
        {
            var city = from c in db.Citys
                       where c.StateId == id
                       select c;
            return Json(new SelectList(city.ToArray(), "CityId", "CityName"), JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
        }
        public IList<State> Getstate(int CountryId)
        {
            return db.States.Where(m => m.CountryId == CountryId).ToList();
        }
        [AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Get)]
        public JsonResult LoadClassesByCountryId(string CountryName)
        {
            var stateList = this.Getstate(Convert.ToInt32(CountryName));
            var stateData = stateList.Select(m => new SelectListItem()
            {
                Text = m.StateName,
                Value = m.CountryId.ToString(),
            });
            return Json(stateData, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
        }
Now add a Empty view for Controller.
@model MVCAPPLICATION.Models.ProjectContext
@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
@Html.DropDownList("Country", ViewBag.CountryId as SelectList, "Select a Country", new { id="Country" })<br />
    <select id="State" name="state"></select><br />
    <select id="city" name="City"></select><br />
}
Add Jquery to view:

@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquery")
<script type="text/jscript">
    $(function () {
        $('#Country').change(function () {
            $.getJSON('/Cascading/StateList/' + $('#Country').val(), function (data) {
                var items = '<option>Select a State</option>';
                $.each(data, function (i, state) {
                    items += "<option value='" + state.Value + "'>" + state.Text + "</option>";
                });
                $('#State').html(items);
            });
        });
       
        $('#State').change(function () {
            $.getJSON('/Cascading/Citylist/' + $('#State').val(), function (data) {
                var items = '<option>Select a City</option>';
                $.each(data, function (i, city) {
                    items += "<option value='" + city.Value + "'>" + city.Text + "</option>";
                });
                $('#city').html(items);
            });
        });
    });
</script>


Build and run the project.
