pass checkboxlist selected values through ObjectDataSource to public class function

Hi,

I'm having a bit of trouble finding a way to pass the selected values on a checkboxlist to a function in a public class.

all i want is to list the selected checkboxlist items. Can anyone help please?

thanks,

Sam

webform code:
    
    <asp:CheckBoxList ID="CheckBoxList1" runat="server">
        <asp:ListItem>item1</asp:ListItem>
        <asp:ListItem>item2</asp:ListItem>
        <asp:ListItem>item3</asp:ListItem>
    </asp:CheckBoxList>

<asp:ObjectDataSource ID="odsTest" runat="server" SelectMethod="PopulateGridview" 
        TypeName="Paging.Subwin" SortParameterName="sortExpr" 
        SelectCountMethod="SelectCount" EnablePaging="True">
    <SelectParameters>
<asp:ControlParameter ControlID="CheckBoxList1" 
            Name="WellContainmentString" PropertyName="SelectedValue" Type="String" /></SelectParameters>

    </asp:ObjectDataSource>

public class code:

namespace Paging
{
    public partial class Subwin
    {
        
        public IQueryable PopulateGridview(string WellContainmentString)
        {

the second link pointed me in the right direction, i ended up listing the selected items in a textbox with a ';', adding that as a string ControlParameter to the ObjectDataSource and splitting the string into an array at the other end.
