Answer 1

Do something Like this :

[HttpPost]
    public ActionResult Create(FormCollection collection)
    {  if (TryUpdateModel(yourmodel))
            { //your logic 
              return RedirectToAction("Index");
            }
          int selectedvalue = Convert.ToInt32(collection["selectedValue"]);
           ViewData["dropdownlist"] = new SelectList(getAllEvents.ToList(), "EventID", "Name", selectedvalue);// your dropdownlist
            return View();
     }

And in the View:

 <%: Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.ProductID, (SelectList)ViewData["dropdownlist"])%>
