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

You want to use MultiSelectList instead which has a constructor to meet your needs:

public MultiSelectList(
    IEnumerable items,
    string dataValueField,
    string dataTextField,
    IEnumerable selectedValues
)
