SharePoint: programmatically retrieve values ​​from a MultiChoice field

Question

I copy multiple field values ​​from one list item to another. If I just call ToString() in the MultiChoice field, I get a value similar to ;#Value;# , which is obviously not the value I want to copy. The target element is Text , so I just want to copy the values ​​into an array, join the "," to get a good text representation.

How to get the "real" value (s) from a field? Field Class Type SPFieldMultiChoice

Answer 1

There is an SPFieldMultiChoiceValue class. Initialize it using the field value and you will have a collection of the specific option selected. Then you convert this collection to a string that you like. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms415672.aspx
