Multi-Select ListBox Question(s)
First Part is getting the values from the multi-selection listbox. (SelectionMode="Multiple")
'First Attempt -> Does not return the selected items
Dim itm As ListItem
For Each itm In SubLi.Items
If itm.Selected Then
str1 &= itm.Text
End If
Next
'Second Attempt -> Does not return the selected items
Dim ctr as Integer
For ctr=0 to SubLi.Items.Count()-1
If SubLi.items(ctr).selected
str1 += SubLi.items(ctr).Text
end if
Next
Each of these 2 ways does not return the selected values - returns nothing. If I access directly it returns the value str1 = SubLi.items(1).Text but I need to do it in a loop to get all of the selected values. (Assuming this is the only way to get all of the selected items from a multi-listbox) Would be greatly appreciated if someone can point out where the logic is flawed in these loops, from what I can tell & reading some other solutions these should work.... but for some reason are not returning the selected items.
Part 2 - Set the defaults in the listbox. How do you set multiple selected items in a list box, ie want to pre-select the first and third items?

That solved the first problem.. posting note on my laptop now to remember to place binding code inside of 'if not ispostback '.. Would you know how to address the second part of the question?
