What are the system requirements to run EasyListBox?
You must have a web server with ASP.NET installed. If you do not have ASP.NET, you can
download it here.

You can request your download link with
this form
and it will be mailed to you right away.

When I populate ELB with AddItem and then post back, I get a Javascript error about "childNodes[0].Rows". What's that?
chances are it's because you're doing your AddItem statements inside an "If Not IsPostBack..." check.
When using AddItem, the items are not stored in ViewState because it doesn't offer any performance gain, so you'll need to remove the IsPostBack check and add the items each time.
The nice part about this is that you can disable ViewState completely and you won't lose your list items OR your selections.

When I put EasyListBox in a page and click on it, I just get a Javascript error. What's wrong?
Did you forget to put EasyListBox between a <form runat="server"> and </form> tag? ASP.NET server controls must be
contained within a server-side form like this in order to operate.
Another possibility is that the ELBScript.js file is not where ELB expects it to be. Check the script tag in View Source to see if the src attribute is pointing where you expect.

What if I don't want to keep the ELB script files in my website root?
Versions 2.4 and up allow you to set a key called "ELBScriptPath" in the web.config file. The path you specify here is relative to
the website root (i.e. "/scripts/EasyListBox") so all sub-applications can use the same script path.

Can I use EasyListBox in a WinForms application?
Unfortunately, no. EasyListBox is an ASP.NET server control, which means it is executed on the web server and rendered to the
browser as HTML.

How do I get the (server-side) selected value of an EasyListBox instance if I'm not using ViewState?
As you might expect, it's easy. Just like any other form control, you can call
Request.Form("myListBox")
and you'll have the selected value, just as you would for an old-style listbox.
However, assuming you haven't set the MaintainState property to False, you can also call myListBox.SelectedValue
-- even without ViewState!

I'm using EasyListBox for swapper lists; why can't I find the Items collection on postback?
Swapper lists are very different from other kinds of listboxes. When working with these lists, the
entire set of values -- as well as their order -- usually needs to be retrieved. With this in mind, EasyListBox provides the
AllValues() method, which returns an array of all values present in the list (in the user-defined order) on postback.

I have some related lists in a User Control/Master Page/other naming container, and they're throwing errors. What's going on?
If you've specified the ChildList or ParentList with hard-coded value, chances are it's not the right one. When rendering control IDs in the browser, ASP.NET appends the ID of any significant parent controls... so instead
of "myDropDown", the ID is rendered as "myUserControl_myDropDown", and so on; this can be mitigated by using the list's ClientID property, like this:
myParentList.ChildList = myChildList.ClientID
myChildList.ParentList = myParentList.ClientID
