How to evaluate a WinForms CheckedListBox?

Question

I am looking for a good way to evaluate what is checked in a WinForms CheckedListBox.

I filled the box using the WYSIWYG editor in VS2008 and added values into it. I'd like to run a switch statement to control code execution based on which box is checked. What is the best way to go about doing this?

Answer 1

Adapted from MSDN :

foreach (var itemChecked in checkedListBox1.CheckedItems)
{
    string itemName = itemChecked.ToString();
    MessageBox.Show(itemName + " is checked.");
}

There are several other ways to review the state of a CheckedListBox. Review the MSDN documentation of that class for more.

You can validate checked checkbox using the below code. my checked list contains both text and value coming from database. Here , menu is my checkedlist name

foreach (DataRowView  itemChecked in  menu.CheckedItems)
            {
              string itemName = itemChecked["MenuName"].ToString();
              int id=Convert.ToInt32(itemChecked["MenuID"].ToString());

              }

Difficult to tell u the best way knowing so little of your specs. Surely you can loop through the listbox items and start some actions depending on what is checked.
