WPF: C# How to get selected value of Listbox?

Question

I am trying to fetch the selected value of the listbox. When I actually try LstGroup1.SelectedItem I get the value { BoothID = \"4\", BoothName = \"HP\" }

Answer 1

I think, you should try one of the following : //EDIT : This solution only works, if Booth is a class/struct

var myBooth = LstGroup1.SelectedItem as Booth;
String id =myBooth.BoothID;
String name=myBooth.BoothName:

or use a generic list with a different type :

public List BoothsInGroup1 { get; set; }
....
var myBooth = LstGroup1.SelectedItem;
String id =myBooth.BoothID;
Stringname=myBooth.BoothName:

And if Booth isn't a class yet, add a new class:

public class Booth
{
    public int BoothID { get; set; }
    public String BoothName { get; set; }
}

So u can use it in your generic list, an you can fill it after databasereading

BoothsInGroup1.Add(new Booth
   { 
     BoothID = Convert.ToInt32(da["BoothID"]),
     BoothName = da["BoothName"].ToString() 
   });
