Question

I have list box control where I am binding the values to the listbox

DataSet ds = new DataSet();
da.Fill(ds, "Employees");
ListBox1.DataSource = ds.Tables["Employees"].DefaultView; 
ListBox1.SelectedIndex = 0;
ListBox1.DataTextField = "FirstName";
ListBox1.DataValueField = "StaffID";
ListBox1.Databind();

after select ing the value .
I have button once the user clicks this

protected void BtnClick(object sender, EventArgs e)  
  {       
 var selectedItems = (from item in listBox.Items.Cast<ListItem>()     where item.Selected        select item.Text).ToArray();   
     result.Text = "You selected: ";    
   result.Text += string.Join(",", selectedItems); 
   }

Right now I code inside the event gives me the selected vlaues name.
but I want to get the selected values index
ex

ID  NAME
23  ram
34 tom
67 john

so if I select ram and john
in code behind I need to get these vales ID that is 23, 67

Hope my question is clear

Thank you

Answer 1

you need to iterate your listbox items like..

 foreach (ListItem lstItem in lstProduct.Items)
    {
        if (lstItem.Selected)
        {
        }
    }
