I am using a Listbox
on my windows application. The listbox has a multi-selection option, which users select all the roles the new user will have.
My Listbox is bound to a dataset. The table is Roles, with an ID column and Description column.
When I bound the listbox, I chose the data source being the dataset, the display member to be the description, the value member being the ID and the selected value being the dataset - roles.frolesid
Now when i loop through the listbox's selecteditems, i get only the first item's values etc...
I am trying to assign an int to the current selectedvalue, to get the ID to give to the user.
int num = 0;
foreach (var item2 in lstRoles.SelectedItems)
{
num = Convert.ToInt32(lstRoles.SelectedValue);
}
So if I select 3 roles, for instance Administrator, Capturer and Assessor, I only see the Administrator value.
How do I loop and access the next item? I'm not even using
item2 in my code. Could this be utilised?
For instance:
First iteration:
And it just stays on that selected item, never moving to the next item.
solved it
int num = 0;
int count = fRoleIDs.Count;
while (num != count)
{
var item = lstRoles.Items[num] as System.Data.DataRowView;
int id = Convert.ToInt32(item.Row.ItemArray[0]);
num += 1;
}
This goes into the listbox's items and according to the index, gets the item as a Row. This then gets me the itemarray, which is ID and Description {0,1}
