I have a CheckBoxList like this:
<asp:CheckBoxList ID="CBLGold" runat="server" CssClass="cbl">
<asp:ListItem Value="TGJU"> TG </asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="GOLDOZ"> Gold </asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="SILVEROZ"> Silver </asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="NERKH"> NE </asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="TALA"> Tala </asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="YARAN"> Sekeh </asp:ListItem>
</asp:CheckBoxList>
Now I want to get the value of the selected items from this CheckBoxList using foreach, and put the values into a list.
This question is related to
c#
asp.net
list
foreach
checkboxlist
I like to use this simple method to get the selected values and join them into a string
private string JoinCBLSelectedValues(CheckBoxList cbl, string separator = "")
{
return string.Join(separator, cbl.Items.Cast<ListItem>().Where(li => li.Selected).ToList());
}
Just in case you want to store the selected values in single column seperated by ,
then you can use below approach
string selectedItems = String.Join(",", CBLGold.Items.OfType<ListItem>().Where(r => r.Selected).Select(r => r.Value));
if you want to store Text not values then Change the r.Value to r.Text
Following suit from the suggestions here, I added an extension method to return a list of the selected items using LINQ for any type that Inherits from System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListControl
.
Every ListControl
object has an Items
property of type ListItemCollection
. ListItemCollection
exposes a collection of ListItems
, each of which have a Selected
property.
public static IEnumerable<ListItem> GetSelectedItems(this ListControl checkBoxList)
{
return from ListItem li in checkBoxList.Items where li.Selected select li;
}
<Extension()> _
Public Function GetSelectedItems(ByVal checkBoxList As ListControl) As IEnumerable(Of ListItem)
Return From li As ListItem In checkBoxList.Items Where li.Selected
End Function
Then, just use like this in either language:
myCheckBoxList.GetSelectedItems()
Good afternoon, you could always use a little LINQ to get the selected list items and then do what you want with the results:
var selected = CBLGold.Items.Cast<ListItem>().Where(x => x.Selected);
// work with selected...
string s= string.Empty
for (int i = 0; i < Chkboxlist.Items.Count; i++)
{
if (Chkboxlist.Items[i].Selected)
{
s+= Chkboxlist.Items[i].Value + ";";
}
}
To top up on @Tim Schmelter, in which to get back the List<int>
instead,
List<string> selectedValues = CBLGold.Items.Cast<ListItem>()
.Where(li => li.Selected)
.Select(li => li.Value)
.Select(int.Parse)
.ToList();
If you have a databound checklistbox
it does not work to get item(j).Selected
, because the control does not have a selected attribute. If you clearSelections i.e. on Load, then apparently it now understands item(j).selected
.
foreach (ListItem item in CBLGold.Items)
{
if (item.Selected)
{
string selectedValue = item.Value;
}
}
List<string> values =new list<string>();
foreach(ListItem Item in ChkList.Item)
{
if(Item.Selected)
values.Add(item.Value);
}
In my codebehind i created a checkboxlist from sql db in my Page_Load event and in my button_click event did all the get values from checkboxlist etc.
So when i checked some checkboxes and then clicked my button the first thing that happend was that my page_load event recreated the checkboxlist thus not having any boxes checked when it ran my get checkbox values... I've missed to add in the page_load event the if (!this.IsPostBack)
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!this.IsPostBack)
{
// db query and create checkboxlist and other
SqlConnection dbConn = new SqlConnection(WebConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConnString"].ConnectionString);
string query;
try
{
query = "SELECT [name], [mail] FROM [users]";
dbConn.Open();
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(query, dbConn);
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
da.Fill(ds);
if (ds.Tables[0].Rows.Count != 0)
{
checkboxlist1.DataSource = ds;
checkboxlist1.DataTextField = "name";
checkboxlist1.DataValueField = "mail";
checkboxlist1.DataBind();
}
else
{
Response.Write("No Results found");
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Response.Write("<br>" + ex);
}
finally
{
dbConn.Close();
}
}
}
protected void btnSend_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string strChkBox = string.Empty;
foreach (ListItem li in checkboxlist1.Value)
{
if (li.Selected == true)
{
strChkBox += li.Value + "; ";
// use only strChkBox += li + ", "; if you want the name of each checkbox checked rather then it's value.
}
}
Response.Write(strChkBox);
}
And the output was as expected, a semicolon separeted list for me to use in a mailsend function:
[email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]
A long answer to a small problem. Please note that i'm far from an expert at this and know that there are better solutions then this but it might help out for some.
