Question

Consider this code:

foreach (ListItem item in lstViolations.Items)
{
    if (item.Selected)
    {
        messageBody += item.Value + Environment.NewLine;
    }
}

I am trying to iterate through each ListItem in lstViolations. However, only the first selected value is added to messageBody and I can’t figure out why that is.

Also, adding messageBody += "test" prints only the first list item followed by test.

Answer 1

Try this:
If it is a ListView, then:

foreach(ListViewItem Item in lstViolations.SelectedItems)
       messageBody+= Item.Text + Environment.NewLine;

If it is a Listbox, then:

foreach(string Item in lstViolations.SelectedItems)
       messageBody+= Item + Environment.NewLine;

This will iterate only through the selected items.

Edit: Didn’t looked at the tags. This will not work for ASP.NET !
