get value and text from dropdown with .net mvc

Question

I'm new to MVC and want to get the value and text from a dropdown from the view to the controller.

I can get the value like this

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Create(Appointment appointment)
{                
    var site = Request["siteSelect"];
}

But how do I get the Text?

could you please post the code of your corresponding View? thanks — Christos

You can't, the text from the dropdown will not be sent when the form is posted to the server.
