Getting the value of the select items in listbox...should be easy...

[hellswraith]

Hey all.

I am brain dumping right now, and can't figure this out...
I have a list box that was databound to a table in the form load
(Private dtTeam As DataTable)

Now, I need to loop through the selected items, and add the ValueMember field (NOT the text) of the selected item to another datatable.

Here is what I have came up with...but I don't know how to get the value member.

If lbxTeam.SelectedItems.Count > 0 Then
            For i As Integer = 0 To lbxTeam.SelectedItems.Count - 1
                drRow = dsData.Tables("Teams").NewRow()
                drRow("EntityID") = lbxTeam.SelectedItems.Item(i) '?????????????????
                dsData.Tables("Teams").Rows.Add(drRow)
            Next
        End If

This should be super simple, but I have been asp.net developing for a long while, and don't remember.

Try:

For i As Integer = 0 To lbxTeam.SelectedItems.Count - 1
                drRow = dsData.Tables("Teams").NewRow()
                drRow("EntityID") = CType(lbxTeam.SelectedItems.Item(i), DataRowView).Item(lbxTeam.ValueMember))
                dsData.Tables("Teams").Rows.Add(drRow)
            Next

Thanks, that was exactly what I needed. Just have to cast it to a dataview....huh..., I don't think I would have headed down that path anytime soon. I understand why now, but I wouldn't have led myself that way...lol.

Thanks again.
