Question

I have 105 listbox items with checkboxes. When user selects the items, i want the selected items to be stored in WP7 Local Database. So, do I need to enter all the list items in the database table column? Or is there any other way to store it and display the selected items when required? I am using C# and XAML. Please help!

Answer 1

call me a simpleton but this is how i do it

// to display user selection - days is a List<DayOfWeek> as stored by you in database
foreach(var day in days)
{
    ListBoxItem lbi = new ListBoxItem();
    TextBlock tb = new TextBlock();
    tb.Text = day.ToString();

    lbi.Content = tb;
    lbi.VerticalContentAlignment = System.Windows.VerticalAlignment.Center;
    lbi.IsSelected = AlarmMod.AlarmData.SelectedDays.Contains(day);

    this.listBox.Items.Add(lbi);
}

// to store
List<DayOfWeek> iDays = new List<DayOfWeek>();

for (int i = 0; i < 7; i++)
{
    if ((this.listBox.Items[i] as ListBoxItem).IsSelected)
    {
        iDays.Add((DayOfWeek)i);
    }
}
// now you store iDays which is a List<DayOfWeek> in database.
