Finding highest decimal in a listbox and displaying it

Question

Currently, I have a listbox with more than 1 item in a row. Each row contains an item name and item price. I want to extract the item price column and run through a loop to find the highest value in the column price. Then I want to find the corresponding item name and display it in a message box. How do i do that?

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 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();

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);
