Normally the drop down box control found in the .Net framework tools is able to select just one data and value at a time, which is displayed on the text area. But what if you want to have multiple values to be selected in the drop down box?
As a normal case you can use a <div> to populate the checkbox items and, depending on the selected check boxes, you can add them to the selected array. But in this case, dynamic population of the drop down is big problem.
Here my article describes creating a usercontrol in .Net, which can be used as a multiselect drop down box.

The following example shows creating a web user control, adding one textbox, an imagebutton, and two checkboxes.

Explanation
Method LoadDropDown(), is used to fill the drop down with values. This is an overloading method where you can pass either a list of IDNamePair entities or a Hash-table value to fill the multi-select drop down.
All the usable controls are populated into properties and exposed. When you call this user control in a page, you can also easily access all these properties.
The SelectValues property of the multi-select drop down box control gives the selected values in a comma separated string. The SelectItems property returns the text values of the selected values.
There is a checkbox list of "select all," which is used to select all the options populated in the multi-select drop down. And to unselect also. There is an option to enable this in the multi-select drop down box, while binding the data to this control.
