Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC MultiSelect Overview

The Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC MultiSelect allows users to select multiple items from a drop-down list of options. The component offers support for local and remote data binding, displaying grouped options, templates for customizing the item's appearance, and options for customizing the component's behavior, such as auto-closing or remaining open after selecting items from the list.

This demo shows how to configure a filterable MultiSelect that binds to remote data and specify a "no data" template that will be displayed if no results are found or the underlying data source is empty.

The ASP.NET MVC MultiSelect control is part of Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC , a professional-grade UI library with 110+ components for building modern and feature-rich web applications. The MultiSelect is a server-side wrapper for the Kendo UI for jQuery MultiSelect component and comes in the form of an HtmlHelper.
