Is checkedlistbox the way to go

[basbrian]

Doing my first project in Visual Studio 2008 and very new to vb. To simplify things, I have 3 tables in a DB, employee, delegations and emp-delegates. I have a drop down list to select the emp no. I was then going to use a checkedlist box to display all the delegations and have the delegations that are in the emp-delegates for the selected emp ticked. Then hoping to allow the user to tick or untick delegations before selecting an "update" button to update the emp-delegates table with the new selections

Is a checkedlistbox the way to go and is this do-able???

I've used a CheckedListBox for this type of scenario several times, so yes, I would recommend it.

I second that. With what you are doing CheckListBox is the way to go. That is very much a type of situation it was created to handle.

If the list of available delegations is large, it also may be benficial to your user if you include a second, read-only list that shows only those delegations currently selected so the user doesn't need to scroll up and down to double-check the entries they've selected.
