title: How does Model binding with a selectlist work?
body: <p>I'm having problems retrieving the values of a selectlist in my form collection.  I've tried making a viewmodel with an attribute with the same name as the select list.</p>
  
  <p>I'm honestly just realizing I REALLY don't understand how model binding works with selectlists.  I've just been assuming that the following conventions apply:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Name the select list the same thing as the attribute on the model you want it to bind to.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Apart from that, I really don't get it.  I've looked at several books on it and they're useless frankly.</p>
  
  <p>How does a select list work with a) form collection and b) a particular model?</p>
