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; }
}

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);
    }
