well, it doesn't matter where this AjaxDropdown is or where you get the data from as long as you return a collection of KeyContent from the url

here's an example: public ActionResult GetWeatherEnumItems() { var type = typeof(WeatherType); var items = Enum.GetValues(type).Cast<int>().Select(o => new KeyContent(o, SplitByCapLetter(Enum.GetName(type, o)))).ToList(); // remove if not needed or if used with odropdown/ajaxradiolist items.Insert(0, new KeyContent(string.Empty, "please select")); return Json(items); } /// <summary> /// from HiThere to Hi There /// </summary> private string SplitByCapLetter(string s) { var r = new Regex(@" (?<=[A-Z])(?=[A-Z][a-z]) | (?<=[^A-Z])(?=[A-Z]) | (?<=[A-Za-z])(?=[^A-Za-z])", RegexOptions.IgnorePatternWhitespace); return r.Replace(s, " "); } and in the view: @(Html.Awe().AjaxDropdown("EnumAdd").Url(Url.Action("GetWeatherEnumItems", "Data")))
