Casting an Item Collection from a listbox to a generic list

Question

I want to find a better way of populating a generic list from a checkedlistbox in c#.

I can do the following easily enough:

List selec         


        

Answer 1

Try this (using System.Linq):

OfType() is an extension method, so you need to use System.Linq

List selectedFields = new List();
selectedFields.AddRange(chkDFMFieldList.CheckedItems.OfType());

Or just do it in one line:

List selectedFields = chkDFMFieldList.CheckedItems.OfType().ToList();
