//Dropdown list for SelectedCity property that depends on selection of SelectedCountry property
@Html.CascadingDropDownListFor( 
  expression: m => m.SelectedCity, 
  triggeredByProperty: m => m.SelectedCountry,  //Parent property that trigers dropdown data loading

  ajaxActionParamName: "country",   //Parameter name for the selected parent value that url action receives
  optionLabel: "Please select a City", // Option label
