How to get Multiple values in controler from MultiSelect Dro

Question

I have Multi Select dropdownlist but i am not able to get Multiple value Please let me know how can I get multiple value in controller. I am using this jquery link for multi select : http://www.erichynds.com/examples/jquery-ui-multiselect-widget/demos/

Controller:

ActionResult Index(string MatchTypeName, string CompetitionName, string MatchName, string GroundName, string ReportName)

{

foreach (WebReportType WebRepots in db.WebReportTypes)

{

SelectListItem selectReportType = new SelectListItem

{

Text = WebRepots.ReportName,

Value = WebRepots.ReportName,

//Selected = selected != null && selected.Contains(idx.ToString())

};

SelectReports.Add(selectReportType);

ViewBag.ReportName = SelectReports;

}

return view();

}

View:

@Html.DropDownList("ReportName", ViewData["ReportName"] as MultiSelectList, new { multiple = "multiple", @class = "multiselect" , style = "width: 200px" })

hi Have you add jquery code suggested by the web site? i.e. $(function(){ $(select).multiselect(); }); also check whether you are adding supported jquery files. hope this will help you.
