Finding highest decimal in a listbox and displaying it

Kiran Mohanty5y ago

You can do that by selecting the particular item that has max price and then choose name to display in message box.

string name = list.OrderByDescending(i => i.price).FirstOrDefault().name;
MessageBox.Show(name);

This linq can help to get item with max price.

var itemwithMaxPrice = list.OrderByDescending(i=>i.price).First(1);

Would you please share the list structure/details?

Share your code, we will help you out. We need to know, If it is binded with class model or You had used any seperator to add the items, based on that we will help with some snippet

I think i know how to solve this. But how do i convert the items in my listbox into a two dimensional array?

Share something so we can observe, how you had binded the listbox with items and price.

However, you can use linq for finding max as below

var items = numberListBox.Items.OfType;
var numbers = items.Select(x => Convert.ToDecimal(x.Content));
var largest = numbers.Max();
