Question

This code:

Html.CheckBoxList(ViewData.TemplateInfo.HtmlFieldPrefix, myList)

Produces this mark-up:

<ul><li><input name="Header.h_dist_cd" type="checkbox" value="BD" />
        <span>BD - Dist BD Name</span></li>
    <li><input name="Header.h_dist_cd" type="checkbox" value="SS" />
        <span>SS - Dist SS Name</span></li>
    <li><input name="Header.h_dist_cd" type="checkbox" value="DS" />
        <span>DS - Dist DS Name</span></li>
    <li><input name="Header.h_dist_cd" type="checkbox" value="SW" />
        <span>SW - Dist SW Name </span></li>
</ul>

You can check multiple selections. The return string parameter Header.h_dist_cd only contains the first value selected. What do I need to do to get the other checked values?

The post method parameter looks like this:

public ActionResult Edit(Header header)

Answer 1

when you have multiple items with the same name you will get their values separated with coma
