How To Get Selected Values Of CheckBoxList With Foreach/LINQ in ASP.NET C#?

In this article I will show you how you can get the selected value of your checkboxlist in your asp.net application using c#.net. in this I will use LINQ and for look to get the selected checkboxlist value your can get.   

So first we will take a checkboxlist control and bind some value. 

<asp:CheckBoxList ID="cblItemType" runat="server" RepeatDirection="Horizontal">                 <asp:ListItem>Item1</asp:ListItem>                 <asp:ListItem>Item2</asp:ListItem>                 <asp:ListItem>Item3</asp:ListItem>             </asp:CheckBoxList>

 

Now here are the code:

With LINQ to get selected item value:

List<string> selectedItem = cblItemType.Items.Cast<ListItem>()                                                     .Where(li => li.Selected)                                                     .Select(li => li.Value)                                                     .ToList();

 

With Foreach:

List<string> selectedItem = new List<string>();                     foreach(ListItem item in cblItemType.Items)                     {                         if (item.Selected)                         {                                selectedItem.Add(item.Value);                         }                     }
