How can a multi-select-list be edited using asp.net mvc?

Question

I'd like to edit an object like the one below. I'd like the UsersSelectedList populated with one or more Users from the UsersGrossList.

Using the standard edit-views in mvc, I get only strings and booleans (not shown below) mapped. Many of the examples I find on google utilizes early releases of the mvc framework whereas I use the official 1.0 release.

Any examples of the view is appreciated.

public class NewResultsState
{
    public IList<User> UsersGrossList { get; set; }
    public IList<User> UsersSelectedList { get; set; }
}

Answer 1

Assuming that User model has Id and Name properties:

<%= Html.ListBox("users", Model.UsersGrossList.Select(
    x => new SelectListItem {
        Text = x.Name,
        Value = x.Id,
        Selected = Model.UsersSelectedList.Any(y => y.Id == x.Id)
    }
) %>

Or with View Model

public class ViewModel {
    public Model YourModel;
    public IEnumerable<SelectListItem> Users;
}

Controller:

var usersGrossList = ...
var model = ...

var viewModel = new ViewModel {
    YourModel = model;
    Users = usersGrossList.Select(
        x => new SelectListItem {
            Text = x.Name,
            Value = x.Id,
            Selected = model.UsersSelectedList.Any(y => y.Id == x.Id)
        }
    }

View:

<%= Html.ListBox("users", Model.Users ) %>

Answer 2

Use Html.ListBox in combination with IEnumerable SelectListItem

View

         <% using (Html.BeginForm("Category", "Home",
      null,
      FormMethod.Post))
       { %>  
        <%= Html.ListBox("CategoriesSelected",Model.CategoryList )%>

        <input type="submit" value="submit" name="subform" />
        <% }%>

Controller/Model:

        public List<CategoryInfo> GetCategoryList()
    {
        List<CategoryInfo> categories = new List<CategoryInfo>();
        categories.Add( new CategoryInfo{ Name="Beverages", Key="Beverages"});
        categories.Add( new CategoryInfo{ Name="Food", Key="Food"});
        categories.Add(new CategoryInfo { Name = "Food1", Key = "Food1" });
        categories.Add(new CategoryInfo { Name = "Food2", Key = "Food2" });
        return categories;
    }

    public class ProductViewModel
    {
        public IEnumerable<SelectListItem> CategoryList { get; set; }
        public IEnumerable<string> CategoriesSelected { get; set; }

    }
    public ActionResult Category(ProductViewModel model )
    {
      IEnumerable<SelectListItem> categoryList =
                                from category in GetCategoryList()
                                select new SelectListItem
                                {
                                    Text = category.Name,
                                    Value = category.Key,
                                    Selected = (category.Key.StartsWith("Food"))
                                };
      model.CategoryList = categoryList;

      return View(model);
    }
