How can I create a SelectList with multiple selected values?

Question

I\'m trying to set multiple values in a select list:

SelectList List = new SelectList(MyListItems, \"valField\", \"dataField\", );
         


        

Answer 1

Example:

class Person
{
    int Id{ get; set; }
    string Name { get; set; }
}

...

var people = new List()
{
    new Person{ Id = 1, Name = "Steve" },
    new Person{ Id = 2, Name = "Bill" },
    new Person{ Id = 3, Name = "John" },
    new Person{ Id = 4, Name = "Larry" }
}
SelectList List = new MultiSelectList(people, "Id", "Name", new[]{ 2, 3 });
