syntax of retrieving values from session array.

[macupryk]

I am repopulating the checkboxlist on postback.

Can someone help me with the syntax?

 

private void FillcblMusic(DataView data)

{

ArrayList selItems = (ArrayList)Session["webform6_cblMusic"];

//iterate over the Items to see which are selected

foreach (ArrayList selItems in this.selItems.LastIndexOf(selItems))

{

if (item.Value == (ArrayList)Session ["webform6_cblMusic"].ToString())

{

selItems.Add(this.cblMusic.Items.IndexOf(item));

}

 

}

 

}

foreach (ArrayList selItems in this.selItems.LastIndexOf(selItems))

 

I think your problem is right there. You iterate through the type of items in the Arraylist. You are trying to iterate through any items in the ArrayList that are of type ArrayList.

 

For example, if the items stored in the ArrayList of strings then you would write

foreach(string x in this.selItems)

 

if you don't know the type just use object instead.

Can u give me a more descriptive example please.

[aewarnick]

//up right underneath the Form class, making it a global variable accessable all throughout the class.
ArrayList selItems=new ArrayList();

//down in your code somewhere
foreach(string x in this.selItems)
{
 if(x==item.Value)
   this.selItems.Add(x);
}

If that is not good enouph, post what you are doing and I'll try to put that together for you.
