Getting CheckBoxList Item values

Question

I have a CheckBoxList which I\'m populating with data. When I attempt to retrieve the checked items from the list I can only grab the item ordinal, I cannot get the value.

Answer 1

You can initialize a list of string and add those items that are selected.

Please check code, works fine for me.

List modules = new List();

foreach(ListItem s in chk_modules.Items)
{
    if (s.Selected)
    {
         modules.Add(s.Value);
    }
}
