Listbox set as SelectionMode Multiple only setting one item

[tshad]

I have a listboxes that are set as SelectionMode="Multiple".

I am trying set them programmatically. I have a comma delimited string that I split into an array then set each item. The problem is that no matter how many I set, only the last one stays selected.

Dim listBoxValues As String()

'set the string as comma delimited

 listBoxValues = Split(controlValue, ",")
 For Each value As String In listBoxValues
       DirectCast(item, ListBox).SelectedValue = value
 Next

Why is only the last one getting set?

Thanks,

Tom

ListBox1 with its SelectionMode set to MultiSimple

Dim controlValue As String = "One.Two,Three,Four"
Dim listBoxValues() As String = Split(controlValue, ",")
Dim indx As Integer = 0

ListBox1.Items.Clear()

For Each value As String In listBoxValues
    ListBox1.Items.Add(value)
    ListBox1.SelectedIndex = indx
    indx += 1
Next

I am sure there is a better way...

Have fun.
