Retrieving Multiple selected items from a data bound listbox

[David L Wright II]

I have a data bound listbox that I want to select multiple lines then
process each line.
I bound a two column datatable to the listbox and set the DisplayMember
property to the appropriate column of the datatable. I set the
SelectionMode property to MultiExtended.

I am able to load and select multiple lines in the listbox but I can not
figure out how to retrieve both columns for each line selected in the
listbox. I know that there is a SelectedItems collection that contains the
lines selected in the list box but I cannot retrieve both columns for each
item in the SelectedItems collection.

Does anyone know how to accomplish this?

Thanks

Hi Davix,

What do you mean two columns, the display and the value member?

Than there is as well a property SelectedValue however tell us first if you
mean this?

Cor,

I have already tried the DisplayMember and the SelectedValue properties.
They only contain the information for the first selected item in the list.
I could not retrieve the values for any other selected items in the list.

Thanks,
