Getting a SELECT MULTIPLE element to pass its multiple values into an array, after a POST.

Hi experts,

I’m having trouble getting a SELECT MULTIPLE element to pass its multiple values into an array, after a POST.

Basically it’s this question:
http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?163734-Process-a-SELECT-MULTIPLE-POST

But how do I pass it into an array in ASP.NET C# syntax? Is it possible?

Currently, I have this code:

@{
        String [] countryID ;
        if (IsPost) {
                countryID = Request.Form["country[]"]; 
        }
}

<select multiple size="10" name="country[]" style="width: 200px;">
        <option value="1">1</option>
        <option value="2">2</option>
        <option value="3">3</option>
</option>
</select>

Select allOpen in new window

 When I run the file, I get this error.

CS0029: Cannot implicitly convert type 'string' to 'string[]'

Select allOpen in new window

Apparently, the POST operation is passing the country element as a string. I need it to pass as an array, as the link talks about in PHP.

I assume I can’t do this with ASP.NET C#, am I correct? Do I need PHP to do this?

Thanks!
