I figured out... the thing is that values for DropDownLists are NOT sent back to the model when you do I binding... however, since the binding automatically calls the constructor of the viewmodel the List Types was being filled there on not really because of the binding. The second list is not built in the constructor, thus it came as null. I added the query to get the information for the list in the SpecializedData constructor, and now its working..
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
