I have a list box that loads itself with numbers from the database table. Now I want to add up all the numbers being present in that drop down list. Can anyone give a hint how to add all those numbers?

Solution 1

Sure!
1. Right a for loop across the items of the listbox
2. In each iteration, get the specific value for that index/item
3. Keep a track of those values in a variable. Keep a 'summ counter'
4. Once the loop is over, use the sum counter to show the value (add up of all existing numbers.)
