Question

Am I missing something here?
I can’t find the SelectedItems property on ListBox control. I’m trying to loop through the selected items in it. And yes, property SelectionMode is set to multiple, not that it matters.

Why can’t I ‘see’ the property?

Answer 1

Important: I had mistaken this for a Windows Forms question.
The following is not true for System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListBox. It’s about the Windows Forms ListBox

It does exist but is marked with

[BrowsableAttribute(false)]

so IntelliSense won’t show it to you, but you can use it anyways.

A proper solution that also works for the ASP.NET System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListBox would be:

var selectedItems = from item in myListBox.Items.OfType<ListItem>()
                    where item.Selected;
