Question

I have a databinded checkedlistbox in one form and I would like to know if it is even possible to databind the check box of each list box item with a certain property of an object.

Thanks for any help in advance 🙂

Edit : Perhaps my question was misinterpreted.

I would like to know if it is possible to databind the checkbox for each Item of CheckedListBox. I know how to databind to a source and how to programatically change the entries by iterating through the itmes. What I don’t know is if it is possible to have a class
which implements INotifyPropertyChanged so that when a “CheckedState” property changes the CheckedListBox updates itself.

According to Samich’s answer, Here is a full example, the binding source is an Object

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            List<randomClass> lst = new List<randomClass>();

            lst.Add(new randomClass());
            lst.Add(new randomClass());
            lst.Add(new randomClass());
            lst.Add(new randomClass());
            lst.Add(new randomClass());
            lst.Add(new randomClass());

            ((ListBox)this.checkedListBox1).DataSource = lst;
            ((ListBox)this.checkedListBox1).DisplayMember = "Name";
            ((ListBox)this.checkedListBox1).ValueMember = "IsChecked";


            for (int i = 0; i < checkedListBox1.Items.Count; i++)
            {
                randomClass obj = (randomClass)checkedListBox1.Items[i];
                checkedListBox1.SetItemChecked(i, obj.IsChecked);
            }
        }
    }

    public class randomClass
    {
        public bool IsChecked { get; set; }
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public randomClass()
        {
            this.IsChecked = true;
            Name = "name1";
        }
    }

randomClass is for demonstration purposes
