get list box items value in loop

[Shift838]

I am wanting to get the list box items values and add them to a database. I have not been able to get it to work. I am trying:

dim x, y as integer
x = lstchoices.items.count

for y = 1 to x
lblstatus &= lstchoices.items.item.text
next y

this does not work though. Any thoughts?

If you are trying to see all the values when you loop, your code won't work. You will only see the last item in the label. Use a response.write to see all the values.

also, i believe you'd want to loop for y = 0 through x - 1...

You shouldn't really use integers to loop through list items if you can help it. Try using this instead:

        Dim sb As New StringBuilder
        For Each lst As ListItem In ListBox1.Items
            sb.Append(lst.Text)
        Next
        Response.Write(sb.ToString)

Dim lst as ListItem
For each lst in....

No probs...there's loads of shortcuts like this; it's just finding them that's the problem!
