I used Darin's above and applied it successfully to a demo:

    @model RequestAQuote.Models.RequestAQuoteModel
    @{
        ViewBag.Title = "Request a Free Quote";
        List ProjectTypes = new List();
        ProjectTypes.Add("Electrical Wiring");
        ProjectTypes.Add("Install Breakers");
        ProjectTypes.Add("Ceiling Fan");
        ProjectTypes.Add("Replace Light");
        ProjectTypes.Add("Replace Outlet");    
    }

    
Request A Quote
    @using (Html.BeginForm())
    {
        @Html.ValidationSummary()
        

            
Request a Quote Form
            

                

                    @Html.LabelFor(m => m.ProjectType)
                    @Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.ProjectType, new MultiSelectList(ProjectTypes))
                
                

                    @Html.LabelFor(m => m.ContactName)
                    @Html.EditorFor(m => m.ContactName, new { autocomplete = "off" })
                
                

                    @Html.LabelFor(m => m.DaTimePhone)
                    @Html.EditorFor(m => m.DaTimePhone, new { autocomplete = "off" })
                
                

                    @Html.LabelFor(m => m.Email)
                    @Html.EditorFor(m => m.Email, new { autocomplete = "off" })
                
                

                    @Html.LabelFor(m => m.ProjectDescription)
                    @Html.EditorFor(m => m.ProjectDescription, new { autocomplete = "off" })
                
            
            
        
    }

    @section scripts 
    {
        @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryval")
    }

    }
