checkedlistbox

I am developing a Winform and I need a checkedlistbox. I have the values stored in an object which has a List property: public static class Fields { public static IList<string> FieldList { get; set; } static Fields() { ...//populate FieldList } } Now I would like my CheckedListBox to use Fields.FieldList as datasource. After searching online I found I needed to set //in myForm_Load mycheckedListBox.DataSource = Fields.FieldList; But myCheckedListBox does not have a DataSource property. Am I missing something here? Per the documentation, it should have this property... http://msdn.microsoft.com

I have a CheckedListBox bound to a DataTable . Now I need to check some items programmatically, but I find that the SetItemChecked(...) method only accepts the item index. Is there a practical way to get an item by text/label, without knowing the item index? (NOTE: I've got limited experience with WinForms...)

I am trying to maintain a list of checked items in a CheckedListBox in User Settings and then reload them upon Application load.

What am I doing wrong

I tried to set DataSource of CheckedListBox like this: private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { checkedListBox1.DisplayMember = "Name"; checkedListBox1.ValueMember = "Checked"; _bindingList = new BindingList<CustomBindingClass>( new List<CustomBindingClass> { new CustomBindingClass {Checked = CheckState.Checked, Name = "Item1"}, new CustomBindingClass {Checked = CheckState.Checked, Name = "Item2"}, new CustomBindingClass {Checked = CheckState.Unchecked, Name = "Item3"}, }); checkedListBox1.DataSource = _bindingList; } And It's working but partially. I'm able to do the fallowing

I am trying to find the index of a particular value from the CheckedListBoxControl . The CheckedListBoxControl has a DataSource, DisplayMember, ValueMember set to a DataTable and two columns receptively. Now I have to set the CheckedState Property to true by finding its index from CheckedListBoxControl by using some value from the ValueMember and then calling the SetItemChecked() method with that index. I'm not able to find any property or method which returns the index. Please help. If a list box control is bound to a data source, you can iterate throught all listbox items using the the
