How can I get the CheckBoxList selected values, what I have doesn’t seem to work C#.NET/VisualWebPart

In your ASPX page you’ve got the list like this:

    <asp:CheckBoxList ID="YrChkBox" runat="server" 
        onselectedindexchanged="YrChkBox_SelectedIndexChanged"></asp:CheckBoxList>
    <asp:Button ID="button" runat="server" Text="Submit" />

In your code behind aspx.cs page, you have this:

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (!IsPostBack)
        {
            // Populate the CheckBoxList items only when it's not a postback.
            YrChkBox.Items.Add(new ListItem("Item 1", "Item1"));
            YrChkBox.Items.Add(new ListItem("Item 2", "Item2"));
        }
    }

    protected void YrChkBox_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        // Create the list to store.
        List<String> YrStrList = new List<string>();
        // Loop through each item.
        foreach (ListItem item in YrChkBox.Items)
        {
            if (item.Selected)
            {
                // If the item is selected, add the value to the list.
                YrStrList.Add(item.Value);
            }
            else
            {
                // Item is not selected, do something else.
            }
        }
        // Join the string together using the ; delimiter.
        String YrStr = String.Join(";", YrStrList.ToArray());

        // Write to the page the value.
        Response.Write(String.Concat("Selected Items: ", YrStr));
    }

Ensure you use the if (!IsPostBack) { } condition because if you load it every page refresh, it’s actually destroying the data.
