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", <selected values>); 

What object/values do I use for to select multiple items?

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 )
