How to send dropdown selected item text to controller in ASP.NET MVC?

i need to send selected dropdown item text, not value, to controller. Here is the view code

 @using (Html.BeginForm("Index", "Home"))
      {
      <div class="container">
          <div class="form-group">
              @if (ViewBag.CountryList != null)
              {
                  @Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.CountryId, ViewBag.CountryList as SelectList, "choose country", new { @class = "form-control" })
              }
          </div>
          <button type="submit">Send</button>
      </div>
      }

In controller i tried to access the request context of the submitted form, but it returns the value, not the text of selected item. Please help to retrieve the text of selected dropdown item to controller.

You can pass Id and Value field from Value property of your ViewBag Try this :

@Html.DropDownListFor(x => x.CountryId, new SelectList(@ViewBag.CountryList, "Value", "Value"), new { @class = "form-control" })

Just pass you model (replace YourModel with you model) 

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Index(YourModel objModel)
{
    var CountryId = objModel.CountryId
}
