Getting CheckBoxList Item values

to get the items checked you can use CheckedItems or GetItemsChecked. I tried below code in .NET 4.5

Iterate through the CheckedItems collection. This will give you the item number in the list of checked items, not the overall list. So if the first item in the list is not checked and the second item is checked, the code below will display text like Checked Item 1 = MyListItem2.

//Determine if there are any items checked. 
if(chBoxListTables.CheckedItems.Count != 0)  
{
    //looped through all checked items and show results.
    string s = "";
    for (int x = 0; x < chBoxListTables.CheckedItems.Count; x++)
    {
        s = s + (x + 1).ToString() + " = " + chBoxListTables.CheckedItems[x].ToString()+ ", ";
    }
    MessageBox.Show(s);//show result
}

-OR-

Step through the Items collection and call the GetItemChecked method for each item. This will give you the item number in the overall list, so if the first item in the list is not checked and the second item is checked, it will display something like Item 2 = MyListItem2.

int i;  
string s;   
s = "Checked items:\n" ;  
for (i = 0; i < checkedListBox1.Items.Count; i++)  
{  
   if (checkedListBox1.GetItemChecked(i))  
   {  
      s = s + "Item " + (i+1).ToString() + " = " + checkedListBox1.Items[i].ToString() + "\n";  
   }  
}  
MessageBox.Show (s);

Hope this helps...


This ended up being quite simple. chBoxListTables.Item[i] is a string value, and an explicit convert allowed it to be loaded into a variable. The following code works:

private void btnGO_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    for (int i = 0; i < chBoxListTables.Items.Count; i++)
    {
          if (chBoxListTables.GetItemChecked(i))
        {
            string str = (string)chBoxListTables.Items[i];
            MessageBox.Show(str);
        }
    }
}

Try to use this.

        for (int i = 0; i < chBoxListTables.Items.Count; i++)
        {
            if (chBoxListTables.Items[i].Selected)
            {
                string str = chBoxListTables.Items[i].Text;
                MessageBox.Show(str);

                var itemValue = chBoxListTables.Items[i].Value;
            }
        }

The "V" should be in CAPS in Value.

Here is another code example used in WinForm app and runs properly.

        var chBoxList= new CheckedListBox();
        chBoxList.Items.Add(new ListItem("One", "1"));
        chBoxList.Items.Add(new ListItem("Two", "2"));
        chBoxList.SetItemChecked(1, true);

        var checkedItems = chBoxList.CheckedItems;
        var chkText = ((ListItem)checkedItems[0]).Text;
        var chkValue = ((ListItem)checkedItems[0]).Value;
        MessageBox.Show(chkText);
        MessageBox.Show(chkValue);

//Simple example code:

foreach (var item in YourCheckedListBox.CheckedItems)
{List<string>.Add(item);}
