in ASP.NET,
I’ve bound a listbox control to a List of custom class (consisting of a TimeSpan and Int members).
the ToString() function just displays them both as a long string.
Now I want to save the modified listbox into the DB again, I need to use the custom class objects again.
Does the ListBox save the actual custom objects once its databound? or only the string representations?
If so, how do I get them from the LB?
Googling doesn’t seem to help much, but it seems to me that a databound ListBox contains objects called ListItems, which have a Text and a Value property. The databinding figures out which is which from your custom class and displays them.
Short answer: no, it does not look like the ListBox is storing the actual class.
