ch11.CheckedItems will give u only checked items, so u dont need to check again:

C#

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {
           string[] total_items = new string[50];
           int items;


           try
           {
               foreach (ListItem li1 in ch11.CheckedItems)
               {
                    total_items[items] = li1.Text;
                    items++;
               }
           }
       }

{
total_items[items] = ch11.Items[i].Value;

In your code you have not assigned item with any value. Hence it is taking as garbage value.
Update the code as below.

C#

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            string[] total_items = new string[50];
            int items = 0;


            try
            {


                foreach (ListItem li1 in ch11.CheckedItems)
                {
                    if (li1.Selected == true)
                    {
                        total_items[items] = li1.Text;
                        items++;
                    }
                }
            }
        }

The best way is to use List of string insted of array of string.

C#

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            List<string> lstString = new List<string>();
            try
            {
                foreach (ListItem li1 in ch11.CheckedItems)
                {
                    if (li1.Selected == true)
                    {
                        lstString.Add(li1.Text);
                    }
                }
            }
            catch
            {
            }
        }<pre>

Hope this will help you
