title: MVC.NET MultiSelectList Questions
body: <p>So 2 questions, I have my html.multiselectlist working fine, however I want to do 2 things... </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Set a default selected value from my list</li>
  <li>Append a hardcoded value / entry within my list (which is pulling from a DB), which is basically a select "ALL" option.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>This is my controller code, so is there where I need to perform this task, or directly within my view or viewmodel:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Inherits Controller
  
  Dim _DB As New BlackBoxNormalizedEntities()
  
  ' Main / Default Lander for TFS Section
  Function TFSMain() As ActionResult
      Dim AccTypeList = (From m In _DB.LibAcctType Select m).ToList()
      Dim TrxnTypeList = (From m In _DB.LibTrxnTyp Select m).ToList()
      Dim ActnCodeList = (From m In _DB.LibActnCode Select m).ToList()
  
      Dim viewModel As New TFS_VModel()
      viewModel.AccType = AccTypeList
      viewModel.Trxntype = TrxnTypeList
      viewModel.ActnCode = ActnCodeList
      viewModel.TStatus = viewModel.TStatus
  
      Return View(viewModel)
  End Function
  </code></pre>
