ListBox.SelectedItems to string array

[Colin Williams]

Hi
I am trying to pass the selected items from a multiselect listbox to a
string array. Can any body give me a start.
Thanks

Try this:

listBox1.Items.Add("this");
listBox1.Items.Add("is");
listBox1.Items.Add("a");
listBox1.Items.Add("test");

string[] destination = new string[listBox1.Items.Count];

listBox1.Items.CopyTo(destination, 0);

That example uses the Items collection but the SelectedItems collection
work work just the same, it's the CopyTo function you should be looking
at.

Had the code there but commented out! Must have threw inadvertent
errors. Code blindness perhaps.
Thanks once again
