retrieve listbox values and make comma seperated

[dfetrow410]

I need make a comma seperated list, but whwn I build the list I get a
comma at the end. How do I remove it?

foreach (ListItem lst in REIPropertyType.Items)
{
if (lst.Selected == true)
{
REIPropertyTypeVal += lst.ToString() + ",";
}

}

Hello,

Instead of a 'for-each' loop, you can use a regular 'for' loop and check
whether the iterator's value is less than the last item's index
(REIPropertyType.Items.Count???? - 1) and if so, append the comma:

for (int i = 0; i < REIPropertyType.Items.Count; i++)
{
ListItem lst = REIPropertyType.Items[i] as ListItem;
if (lst.Selected == true)
REIPropertyTypeVal += lst.ToString();
if (i < REIPropertyType.Items.Count - 1)
REIPropertyTypeVal += ",";
}

Hope this helps.

Just remove it afterwards:
REIPropertyTypeVal = REIPropertyTypeVal.Remove(REIPropertyTypeVal.Lengt h -
1);
or
REIPropertyTypeVal = REIPropertyTypeVal.TrimEnd(',');

foreach (ListItem lst in REIPropertyType.Items)
{
if (lst.Selected == true)
{
REIPropertyTypeVal += lst.ToString() + ",";
}

}

Note that the first would raise an ArgumentOutOfRangeException in the case
that there are no (selected) items in the ListBox control and thus
REIPropertyTypeVal is an empty string - trying to remove all characters after
the -1st position.
