ASP.NET MVC 2 Basics - Working with List Boxes

Introduction

In many ways ASP.NET MVC represents a big step forward from Web Forms. Instead of working with an abstraction that tries to impose a non-web model onto a web development framework, ASP.NET MVC embraces the http model and presents developers with a way of working that is much more in-tune with how the web actually works. This is liberating but for developers only familiar with the Web Forms model it can be a bit intimidating as well. To work effectively in MVC we need to have a solid understanding of how html forms work, this is something that Web Forms never really required or encouraged (though it was always desirable). In this article I’ll be looking at creating a classic UI construct in MVC: indicating selection by moving items from one list box to another.

Pre-requisites

You’ll need at least Visual Studio 2008 (or the equivalent express edition) with MVC version 2 installed. I’m assuming a reasonable level of familiarity with the ASP.NET development and how MVC projects are structured.
