Editing display data in databound listbox ... - RESOLVED

Hello,

I have a databound list box that I created in design time. The info it displays uses HTML codes for apostrophies etc. I simply want to do a replace on the data - replace ' with single quotes - only on whats displayed - not the actual data.

Any ideas on how I can accomplish this??

Thanks,

Rich

You mean like this?

Code:

---

            Dim ds2 As SqlDataReader
            ds2 = dsLogin2.ExecuteReader()
            Dim ddlist as new DropDownList
            Dim le As New ListItem

    Do While ds.read()
            With le
                .Text = replace(ds("xfield").tostring(),"searchFor","replacewith")
                .value=ds("xfield").tostring()
            End With
            ddlist.Items.Add(le)
    loop

            ds2.Close()
            myConnection2.Close()

I'm trying to translate your VB code to C#.

I thought I would try to do this is C# arrrghhh - should have stayed with VB!!

Any idea how this would work in C#??

This worked!!:

Code:

---

foreach (ListItem Le in lstbxAvailProds.Items)
Le.Text = Le.Text.Replace("'","'");
