Question

I have some code that will load full file names (ex.F:\logs\1234.log) into a listbox depending on the directory the user chooses. When the user selects one or more of the files and clicks the output button, I want the code to read through each selected file. Before, I was using a combobox and the code:

StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(comboBox1.Text);

This obviously does not work for listboxes. What is the simplest way to have the program read the user selected file(s) from the listbox?

Answer 1

To access all selected items in a ListBox you can use the SelectedItems property:

foreach (string value in listBox1.SelectedItems)
{
    StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(value);
    ...
}
