Multiple selction in Dropdownlist of asp.net MVC 3

Question

Can we select multiple items from razor dropdownlist control. i.e for

@Html.DropDownListFor(m=>m.Country, CountryList as SelectList,"--Select--")

Solution 1

You can try maybe something like this ...

@Html.ListBoxFor(m=>m.Country, new MultiSelectList(CountryList as SelectList, "CountryID", "Select"))

Solution 2

You just have to add a new { "multiple" = "multiple" } as last Parameter of the function - this will render a multiselect.
