Question

I have not been able to find a good example of a model that contains a list that you pass to your view, then pass it back to the controller when the user posts. I have lots of examples of passing back a ‘selected’ item in a listboxfor, but no example where I can persist the entire list in the model back to the controller.

I have searched far and wide and have come up short. If someone can point me to a good example, I would greatly appreciate it.

You need to make sure your items are in inputs that will get posted back to the server and in sequential order – see:

Also – you could retrieve your own objects and send them over in a call to jQuery.post as your data parameter as well.
