now i am getting error this line Total = (Total + int.Parse(Str));
Error comment is - Use of unassigned local variable 'Total'

What "error"? It's not the same thing as before.

Try initializing Total.

int Total = 0;

Then for fun try

var Total = ListBox1.Items.Cast<int>().Sum(); /// Textbox.Text = Total.ToString() or remove Total all together go to the TextBox.Text

Cast<int> won't work if the items are strings, which the foreach loop suggests is the case. :)

int Total = ListBox1.Items.Cast<string>().Select(int.Parse).Sum();

It is quite easy to solve this:

TotalFees.Text = Total.ToString();

Solution 3

C++

int Total = 0; // set Total to zero to start
foreach (string Str in ListBox1.Items)
{
    Total = (Total + int.Parse(Str));
}

You need to initialise Total before using it the first time. Just modify the code as above.

i used as above suggested code but still getting new error-"Unable to cast object of type 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListItem' to type 'System.String'."
This line- foreach (string str in ListBox1.Items)

ListBox items are not strings, please make use of the documentation: ListBox.Items Property (System.Windows.Forms) | Microsoft Docs[^]

Chris A Clarke 25-Mar-19 14:17pm

Ah ... WebControl ListItems have Text and Value string properties...

Using the foreach(ListItem str in ListBox1.Items)
{
Total += int.Parse(str.Value);
}

Or

Total = ListBox1.Items.Sum( c => Int.Parse(c.Value));
