the selected values in my checkboxlist are not adding correctly

[cluce]

I am trying to add only my selected values but its only adding the first selected value in my list repeatedly to the amount of selected items. can someone help me with this?

for example, lets say I check off 2 in my list. than I check off three other boxes are inline after 2's box in my list not before. no matter what value is in those boxes I still get 8. 2+2+2+2

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
        lblAnswer.Text = ""
        ListBox1.Items.Clear()
        ''add up prices from list 
        Dim total As Decimal
        Dim i As Int32
 
        For i = 0 To CheckBoxList1.Items.Count - 1
            If CheckBoxList1.Items(i).Selected Then
                total += Decimal.Parse(CDec(CheckBoxList1.SelectedValue.ToString))
                ListBox1.Items.Add(CheckBoxList1.SelectedValue)
            End If
 
        Next
        lblAnswer.Text = total
 
    End Sub
End Class

Hi,

what you're doing wrong is that you're using CheckBoxList1.SelectedValue property for getting the value - it's showing list's first (of the lowest index) selected value instead of a "current iteration";

pls take a look at this example (from msdn, slightly modified) of iterating through Checkboxlist's items

Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To checkboxlist1.Items.Count - 1
    If checkboxlist1.Items(i).Selected Then
       ' the value you're looking for is in checkboxlist1.Items(i).Text
    End If
Next
 

hope this helps,
M.
