How to send data to the controller from the Kendo UI TreeView - kendo-ui

Question

I have two TreeViews, one has a list of countries, and the other is empty, now I want drag and drop selected countries into the second tree-view. I don't know how to send data to the controller from the TreeView and there is also some text field on the page in a form. So, how can I send both the form data and the TreeView's data to the controller.
Here is the code for the second tree-view which is empty and I want to add the selected nodes to:
#(Html.Kendo().TreeView()
.Name("treeview-right")
.DragAndDrop(true)
.Events(events => events
.Drag("onDrag")
.Drop("onDrop")
)
)

Please try with the below code snippet.
HTML/VIEW
<div style="border: 1px solid green;">
<div id="treeview-left"></div>
</div>
<div style="border: 1px solid red;">
<div id="treeview-right"></div>
</div>
<div id="mydiv" onclick="SaveData()">Click me to save data</div>
<script>
$("#treeview-left").kendoTreeView({
dragAndDrop: true,
dataSource: [
{
id: 11, text: "Furniture", expanded: true, items: [
{ id: 12, text: "Tables & Chairs" },
{ id: 13, text: "Sofas" },
{ id: 14, text: "Occasional Furniture" }
]
},
{
id: 15, text: "Decor", items: [
{ id: 16, text: "Bed Linen" },
{ id: 17, text: "Curtains & Blinds" },
{ id: 18, text: "Carpets" }
]
}
]
});
$("#treeview-right").kendoTreeView({
dragAndDrop: true,
dataSource: [
{
id: 1, text: "Storage", expanded: true, items: [
{ id: 2, text: "Wall Shelving" },
{ id: 3, text: "Floor Shelving" },
{ id: 4, text: "Kids Storage" }
]
},
{
id: 5, text: "Lights", items: [
{ id: 6, text: "Ceiling" },
{ id: 7, text: "Table" },
{ id: 8, text: "Floor" }
]
}
]
});
var selectedID;
function SaveData() {
selectedID = '';
var tv = $("#treeview-right").data("kendoTreeView");
selectedID = getRecursiveNodeText(tv.dataSource.view());
alert(selectedID);
var data = {};
data.str = selectedID;
$.ajax({
url: 'Home/SaveData',
type: 'POST',
data: data,
dataType: 'json',
success: function (result) {
alert("Success");
},
error: function (result) {
alert("Error");
},
});
}
function getRecursiveNodeText(nodeview) {
for (var i = 0; i < nodeview.length; i++) {
selectedID += nodeview[i].id + ",";
//nodeview[i].text; You can also access text here
if (nodeview[i].hasChildren) {
getRecursiveNodeText(nodeview[i].children.view());
}
}
return selectedID;
}
</script>
