Use this code instead to fetch all the selected values in a particular listbox, say listbox1 :

C#

List<string> Stringlist = new List<string>();
        for (int i = 0; i < ListBox1.Items.Count; i++)
        {
            if (ListBox1.Items[i].Selected == true)
            {
                Stringlist.Add(ListBox1.Items[i].ToString());
            }
        }</string></string>

Listbox.selecteditem is not string so the conversion error was there...
Use the above code and I think you will get the desired result..

Thanks

Solution 2

Look at the documentation[^], this collection is not a set of strings.

Convert from object to string as

C#

List<string> Stringlist = new List<string>() ;
string strItem =string.Empty;
foreach (object selectedItem in ListBox.SelectedItems)
{
     strItem = selecteditem as String;
      Stringlist .Add(strItem );
}
</string></string>
