get items selected within 'checkboxlist'

[gsshaw]

This may be a newbie question, but I am using System.Net.Mail to send an email, containing the data from a form. getting the text from the textboxes, and selected values from the drop-down boxes was easy. What I am struggling with now is how to get a list of which items, from within the 'checkboxlist' were selected when the 'submit' button was clicked. The most I have been able to get so far, using the .SelectedItem attribute is the FIRST value. I haven't figured out how to retrieve the collection that is a list of all the items that were selected. Make sense? any help or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks ,Gary

loop through the checkbox list and check if the item is selected then get its text. something like this: foreach(ListItem li in cblist.Items) { if(li.Selected) // do here whatever you need to do }
