Select multiple items from a listbox

Question

I need to select multiple values from a ListBox. I enabled the SelectionMode as multiple . I am able to select multiple values, but only one value is going to the database. I used Listbox.SelectedValue.ToString() .

Please help me out how to get that multiple values into the database?

Answer 1

ListBox.SelectedValue will return only one value. You need to use ListBox.SelectedItems property and then adjust your code accordingly to insert multiple values into the database.

Answer 2

Using foreach loop we can get multiple selected values in ListBox

    foreach (ListItem li in ListBox1.Items)
    {
        if (li.Selected)
        {
            lblValues.Text += li.Text+"<br/>";
        }
    }
