SelectedValue

Hi every one,
I have a problem with the values returned from a multiple selected list in MVC.
the returned values to the controller are as followes:

SelectedCode[0] = "System.Collections.Generic.List`1[System.String]"
SelectedCode[1] = "Value1"
SelectedCode[2] = "Value2"

I only need the value in index 1 and 2 and not the value of 0. How do I get rid of the value in index 0?

Model:
        public List<string> SelectedCode { get; set; }



        public Collection<CodeDescription> CodeList { get; internal set; }

Controller:
            model.SubLevelList.Add(new CodeDescription("1", "Value1"));
            model.SubLevelList.Add(new CodeDescription("2", "Value2"));

Class:
    public class CodeDescription
    {
        public CodeDescription();
        public CodeDescription(string code, string description);

        public string Code { get; set; }
        public string Description { get; set; }
    }


view 
<div class="row padding5">
  @Html.LabelFor(model => model.SelectedCode, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "form-label", @style = "" })
  <div class="input-control full-size" data-role="select">
       @Html.HiddenFor(model => model.SelectedCode)
       @Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.SelectedCode, new MultiSelectList(Model.CodeList.ToList(), "Code", "Description", Model.SelectedCode), "Select a Value", new { multiple = "multiple", @class = "form-control", @style = "width:300px" })
  </div>
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.SelectedCode, "", new { @class = "fg-red" })
</div>
