How to get data from a Bulletedlist in Codebehind ASP.NET?

Question

I have a list of items defined through a Bulletedlist on an Asp.net. page This list is populated with multiple items through attributes DataSource, DataTextField, DataValueField and the method DataBind() in Codebehind in C#.

I need the user to be able to reorder the items in that list and then the page can save that new sorted list instead of the old list. For this, I implemented the Sortable of jQuery, following these two links: [1] and [2].

So far so good, everything is working normally. However, when saving, I need to get this list back (more precisely, the values of DataValueField), to save the changes, and this is my question: how could I get those values back on Codebehind?

Obs.: for some reason I do not have access to the methods GetData() and GetDataSource(), what could help in this matter.

Answer 1

You can use the property Items, will be something like

for (int i=0; i<BULLETEDLIST.Items.Count; i++) {
         if (BULLETEDLIST.Items[i].Selected)
            RETURN;
      }

In place of return you place the logic of your code, you can create an array and save in that array the items according to the current positions.
