how to get selected value from databound multiextended listbox

Question

I am using visual studio 2008 with vb as my language. I have a databound multiextended listbox. I need to get the selected value for each item that is selected. I have searched for two weeks trying to find and answer. Can anyone help? I would greatly appreciate it.

Answer 1

How about this:

For Each Item In ListBox1.SelectedItems
            //Do Stuff here to the item
        Next

Answer 2

when i try this:

For Each item In ListBox1.SelectedItems
            Label10.Text = Label10.Text + item.ToString & vbCrLf
        Next

i get the following result int he label10 text:

chirp_Sql.status
chirp_Sql.status
chirp_Sql.status

chirp_Sql is the name of my database and status is the name of the field. How can I get the actual value instead of that? Thanks for the help.

Something is up with the way you are binding your data to the listbox in the first place, or you need to do a "DirectCast" of the item before you can see it's contents.
