Fill only selected checkbox items from checkboxlist into new list

Question

How can i set all selected items from an Checkboxlist into a list? I tried this code but when i run it all checkbox items where added? I only want the selected items

List<string> WeeklyDays = (from l in CheckBoxListWeeklyDays.Items.Cast<ListItem>() select l.Value).ToList();

This looks more like ASP.net than classic asp – John Dec 01 '14 at 18:12 — John, Dec 01 '14 at 18:12

Your snippet is C#/ASP.NET not vbscript/classic-asp
In your query add a WHERE statement to look at the "Selected" attribute of each ListItem, similar to:

List WeeklyDays = (from l in CheckBoxListWeeklyDays.Items.Cast() where l.Selected select l.Value).ToList();

Taken from: How to get values of selected items in CheckBoxList with foreach in ASP.NET C#?
