It's "Simple", Create a HiddenField, and store the selected values in that, before post your data to server.

to get the selected values try something like that:

var myValues= new Array();
$("#studentList> option:selected").each(function(){
    myValues.push($(this).attr('value'));
})

$('#hiddenField').attr('value', myValues.join(','));

On then server-side, just have to split the string to get the values

Try putting the value in a hidden field via JS

<%=Html.Hidden("student", "none")%>

Then access the value of the hidden field from c#

Your combobox selected value should already be sent over to the server as long as its in the form. Is there a reason that isn't sufficient?
