Hi guys,

I have a asp.net webpage,
When user uploads csv file, I read it in xml and populate listbox.

When I select multiple choices for listbox, and when I hit RUN BUTTON(this is BEGIN PROCESS method)... the items I selected are not being registered as selected. I think it has something to do with postback but I do not fully understands the concept.

any idea why its not being selected as true?

just to give more details... on page load nothing happens. User selects file to upload... when the user hits button to upload, listbox is populated. Then I want user to select multiple items from listbox, and "do something" with the selected choices. Problem is selections are not being marked as true.

There is not enough information there to know what the problem is. My guess is that the view state is not getting reset on post-back.

Is this a dynamic or static control?

How is the control configured in the HTML view?
