Question

I have used a CheckedListBox over my WinForm in C#. I have bounded this control as shown below –

chlCompanies.DataSource = dsCompanies.Tables[0];
chlCompanies.DisplayMember = "CompanyName";
chlCompanies.ValueMember = "ID";

I can get the indices of checked items, but how can i get checked item text and value. Rather how can i enumerate through CheckedItems accessing Text and Value?

Thanks for sharing your time.

Cast it back to its original type, which will be a DataRowView if you’re binding a table, and you can then get the Id and Text from the appropriate columns:

foreach(object itemChecked in checkedListBox1.CheckedItems)
{
     DataRowView castedItem = itemChecked as DataRowView;
     string comapnyName = castedItem["CompanyName"];
     int? id = castedItem["ID"];
}
