sorry for question, what is ListItem in this case? – Potbellied

I have error The type or namespace name 'ListItem' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) – Potbellied

try this: ListBoxItem("text", "value") instead of ListItem("text", "value") – Sopher

I can't find any "ListBoxItem" class in Winforms, only in WPF... – Centrum

Try setting the DisplayMember and ValueMember properties. Then you can pass an anonymous object like so:

checkedListBox1.DisplayMember = "Text";
checkedListBox1.ValueMember = "Value";
checkedListBox1.Items.Insert(0, new { Text= "text", Value = "value"})

Edit:

To answer your question below, you can create a class for your item like so:

public class MyListBoxItem
{
    public string Text { get; set; }
    public string Value { get; set; }
}

And then add them like this:

checkedListBox1.Items.Insert(0, new MyListBoxItem { Text = "text", Value = "value" });

And then you can get the value like this:

(checkedListBox1.Items[0] as MyListBoxItem).Value

how to get this valueMeber and Display member foreach (object itemChecked in checkedListBox1.CheckedItems) { ???? } – Potbellied

P.S: You need to override ToString() method in MyListBoxItem class. CheckListBox will call your ToString() method. – Silvia
