Getting user selection from dropdownlist

Hi,

 

I am developping a little application where user must select class name from a dropdownlist and the corresponding student should be displayed in a table on the same page.

I would like to know how to get the user selection from the dropdownlist without having to use jquery, ajax or javascript since I don't know those and how to pass the selection to get the information from the database based on user selection and show them on the table or grid view.

I am using asp.net mvc with C#

 

I am a total newbie in the world of dev and even more of asp.net mvc and C# please don't be too technical.

 

Thanks in advance
