Hi,
I want to get an idea for my requirement:
I have a asp.net web page to enter book details where user select book author from dropdownlist. There is a author master page from where we enter all the author names.But suppose there is a new author that is not in the dropdownlist then i want to give the user option to enter the new author name from the book entry page and that author gets inserted in database and added to dropdown automatically so that user can select that author. Please suggest me how to get this done.

What I have tried:

I think we can use web API for this..But no idea how to do this.
