Answer 1

The answer to your first question "is that possible to call various ActionMethods in a controller via AJAX" is a big yes. You may call any action method from your controller through Ajax though the only result generated depends on various things like whether you send a view or partial view or JSON result.

for your next question :

I will be posting some codes

Controller.cs

public JsonResult getCity(string country)
    {
        var temp = (from cntry in db.Table3.OrderBy(s => s.country)
                    where (string.Compare(cntry.country, country) == 0)
                    select cntry.city).ToList();
        return Json(temp, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
    }

View

Countries



@{
    foreach (var t in (List)ViewBag.countries)
    {
    @t
    }
}
 

State




@*
The following jquery code finds the selected option from country dropdown 
and then sends an ajax call to the Home/getcity method 
and finally populate it to the city dropdown 
*@

This will show a dropdown of countries list. Once a country is selected it will render a new dropdown of city list
