Question

I have a listbox with multiple selection activated and i am trying to read the different selected values

I have tried many snippets, here are the latest two :

 For i = 0 To ListBox1.SelectedIndices.Count
     MsgBox(ListBox1.Items((ListBox1.SelectedIndices(i))).value)
 Next


 For i = 0 To ListBox1.SelectedItems.Count
     MsgBox(ListBox1.SelectedItems(i).value)
 Next

For some reason with any approach i choose i can’t read any item’s value

My listbox is data bound, so i found out on a forum that making it public might fix the issue but it did not

I am hesitating as even Intellisense doesn’t show much info, all i get is :

Equals
GetHashCode
GeType
ReferenceEquals
ToString

Any ideas where i went wrong?

Thanks in advance

I’m not a big fan of using the Data GUI tools in VB. That said, I think what you are looking for is this:

For Each dvRow As DataRowView In Me.Listbox1.SelectedItems
  MessageBox.Show(dvRow("Id").ToString)
Next

If you were interested in the Last Name field, change “Id” to “Last Name”.

Also, I used MessageBox.Show instead of MsgBox. MsgBox is a leftover from VB6.
