Dropdown list ,pass parameter in linq........

[pranavcool]

Hi, I am new to .net 3.5. Currently i am stuck up in middle of the project. I have got two dropdownlist.One is country and other is region. Based on the country (first dropdownlist) the values in the region (second dropdownlist) should get populated. I have already written a linq query to bind country dropdownlist, but based on the country selected, region dropdownlost should be populated. Now my query is that how to pass the value in to the linq query to populate the region dropdown base on the country selected from the dropdownlost. suggestion would be appreciated. Waiting for an early reply. Regards,

string country = ddlCountry.SelectedValue;

IEnumerable regions = from reg in db.Regions
where reg.Country == country
orderby reg.Name
select reg;

ddlRegions.DataSource = regions;
ddlRegions.DataBind();
