Serialize MVC MultiSelect as array

[100%]

I have this Kendo UI multiselect:

@(Html.Kendo().MultiSelect()
      .Name("EditModel.Modules.ID")
      .DataValueField("ID")
      .DataTextField("Name")
      .Filter(FilterType.Contains)
      .DataSource(source =>
      {
        source.Read(read =>
                    {
                    read.Action("GetModules", "Modules");
                    })
                   .ServerFiltering(true);
                    }))

How can I add [index] to name so the array maps to the array in my editmodel?

Is there some setting that would add [x] automatically to the name?

Hello Hans,

 Did you try my suggestion from stackoverflow?

@(Html.Kendo().MultiSelectFor(m => m.EditModel.ModulesSite)   // can't access property
      .DataValueField("ID")
      .DataTextField("Name")
      .Filter(FilterType.Contains)
      .DataSource(source =>
      {
        source.Read(read =>
                    {
                    read.Action("GetModules", "Modules");
                    })
                   .ServerFiltering(true);
                    }))

I changed to this code but can't access the property "ID" in the ModulesSite-navigation property. What's needed to be changed? ModulesSite is a List< Module> that has int "ID" and string "Name".

Hi Hans,

The MultiSelect value won't be posted as a collection of your type. Only the value property ("Name" in your case) will be posted. Basically it behaves exactly as the <select multiple> element. Perhaps the following resources would turn up useful:
