formcollection only holds the selected html.listbox items values? MVC

Question

My scenario is this: I have two listbox\'s, one that contains all my database items, and an empty one. The user adds the items needed from the full listbox to the empty list

Answer 1

I am doing this as well, I think the way I solved it is a bit more elegant. Essentially I just have a Jquery function that runs before the form post that selects all the options.

    $(function () {
        $("form").submit(function (e) {
            $("#box2View option").attr("selected", "selected");
        });
    });
