i have edit button. if click that, want populate selected value kendodropdown populate in , save changes dropdown list.

i believe you're asking how selected value dropdownlist. if so, this:

$('#my-button').on('click', function(){     var dropdown = $('#my-dropdown').data('kendodropdownlist');     var selvalue = dropdown.value() }
