Setting the selected value of a ListBoxView as a string (C#)

When a value is selected in a ListBoxView, How could the selection be stored as a string / variable, so I can then call a开发者_如何学Cnother method that will use this string to perform an action?

If the Items in your listbox are all strings, you could use

System.Windows.Forms.ListBox lb= new ListBox();
            lb.SelectedItem.ToString();

Otherwise, we will need to know the types of items you have added to the listbox.

If you using ListBox get selected item like this:

string item = listBox1.SelectedItem.ToString();

If you using ListView get selected item(s) depending on MultiSelect property:

1. Use this code if MultiSelect property = false

   string itemName = listView.SelectedItems[0].Name;
   

2. Use this code if MultiSelect property = true

   foreach (ListViewItem item in ltvMainMenu.SelectedItems)
   {
      string itemName = item.Name;    
   }
