            var model = new CrossFieldValidation
            {
                SelectedValue = "Amount",
                Items = new[]
                {

       @Html.DropDownListFor(m=> m.SelectedValue , Model.Items)
     <input id="PostValues" type="Submit" value="PostValues" />
}

would any one pls help on this...

Answer 1

This line

return View(model1);

looks for the view named exactly like the action in which it was called. Calling this line from PostValues action assumes there is a view PostValues.cshtml (which apparently does not exist). If you still want to use view Index - you should specify this explicitly:

if (!ModelState.IsValid)
{    
    return View("Index", model1);
}

Answer 2

As Andrei said. Alternatively, you can give your PostValues method an additional tag:

[HttpPost, ActionName("Index")]
public ActionResult PostValues(CrossFieldValidation model1)
{
    if (!ModelState.IsValid)
    {    
        return View(model1);
    }
}
