Hi all

I have a listbox named listbox1 in which emails are collected.

now i want listbox1 item in textbox1 by selecting that item.

That i can do by

C#

private void listBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        textBox1.Text = listBox1.SelectedItem.ToString();
    }

Emails are in format of a@gmail.com b@gmail.com

I want the selected item in textbox without @gmail.com.

How to do that.

eg: the items collected in listbox are

ab@gmail.com bc@gmail.com gh@gmail.com

i want just ab or bc or gh by selecting.

thank you

@MAHESH THIS GIVES THE FOLLOWING ERROR

'object' does not contain a definition for 'split' and no extension method 'Split' accepting a first argument of type 'object' could be found

Try this instead

foreach (string item in listBox1.SelectedItems)<br>
            {<br>
                this.textBox1.Text = item.Split('@')[0];<br>
            }

Solution 2

C#

private void listBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            var email = listBox1.SelectedItem.ToString();
textBox4.Text =   email.Substring(0, email.IndexOf("@"));
        }

This worked for me.
