Listbox and multiple selections

[NativeNYer]

In embedded VB you had a multiselect property that you could set in a
listbox, the compact framework doesn't seem to support this. Is there
a work around for this? What could possibly be the reason for removing
this functionality? I have an application that used this feature and
now I'm stuck with trying to use a ListView control with check boxes.

You are right, the recommended workaround is to use listview with
checkboxes. Alternatively you can pinvoke and get multiselect working (but
the user has to use the Ctrl key just like on the desktop). Final solution
is to roll your own list (or buy a 3rd party one), starting with the one in
SDF from OpeNETCF...
