    <p>I am trying to set the selected values for a MultiSelectList but the page does not display any values as selected. I have tried every practical way to do this and still get the same results. I am currently trying to pass a list of selected objects in via the constructor. What gets me is that when I inspect MultiSelectList object, the selectedvalues property contains the items that I have passed into it using the constructor but it still does not display. </p> <p>I have noticed that many people are having the same problem but I have not seen an answer that has worked for me. I have tried iterating through the list and setting the selected property to true, I have tried creating the multiselectlist from scratch and setting each individual items selected property and I have tried using the constructor. None of these have worked. I also found an a suggestion that the MultiSelectList property could not be named the same as the control (which I tried) and that did not work. Why is it so difficult to create a dropdown list with selected values using this framework? Am I missing something?</p> <pre><code>&lt;label for="StatesOfPractice"&gt;States of Practice:&lt;/label&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;%= Html.ListBox("StatesOfPractice", Model.StatesOfPracticeList)%&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;%= Html.ValidationMessage("StatesOfPractice")%&gt; </code></pre> <h2>Edit 1</h2> <p>It appears to be happening when I instantiate the MultiSelectList. If I inspect the object in the View and open the Results View I can see that "Alaska" is not selected when I know that it should be. </p> <p><a href="https://imgur.com/eTIdH.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://imgur.com/eTIdH.jpg</a></p> <p>I am instantiating like this. </p> <pre><code>new MultiSelectList(List&lt;GenericDataContract&gt;, "Code", "Description", List&lt;GenericDataContract&gt;); </code></pre> <p>The GenericDataContract is simply a class with two properties, Code and Description. The first List is all of the states, the second List is my selected states.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
