getting the selectedItem in a checkedListBox from another method

[Twyce]

I am trying to access checked Items in a checkedListbox from another method.Problem is, using "Selecteditem" and "SelectedIndex" does not work, it appears as if there aren't any items selected from the list. is there any other way I can read from the CheckedBoxList list or What am i doing wrong? Please help

Without seeing your code it is not easy to offer any suggestion. Normally just using myCheckedListBox.SelectedIndex should work. Please post the code where you are trying to do it, so that people can try to help you.

Is this WinForms? If so, are you getting confused between SelectedItems and CheckedItems?

CheckedListBox.CheckedItemCollection checkedItems = checkedListBox.CheckedItems;

Lets name the checklistbox as table list.whenever an item is checked or unchecked just add them to a data table(_selectedTables). private void tableList_ItemCheck(object sender, ItemCheckEventArgs e) { string names = tableList.GetItemText(tableList.Items[e.Index]); CheckState currentState=e.NewValue; if (currentState.ToString() == "Checked") { DataRow newRow = _selectedTables.NewRow(); _selectedTables.Rows.Add(newRow); newRow["Table"] = names; } else { DataRow[] dr = _selectedTables.Select("Table = '" + names + "'"); if (dr.Length > 0) _selectedTables.Rows.Remove(dr[0]); } } And then use this method to retrieve the selection public DataTable ReturnSelectedTables { get { return _selectedTables; } } Hope this helps you.
