You can bind MultiSelect to a list of complex data objects which can have multiple properties. To bind the control to a list of data objects, follow these steps:

1. Create a class named Customer using the following code.
   • VB
   • C#

   • VB

   Public Class Customer
   
       Private name As String
   
       Private customerID As String
   
       Private mobile As String
   
       Private email As String
   
       Public Sub New(ByVal _name As String, ByVal _custId As String,
                      ByVal _mobile As String, ByVal _email As String)
           Me.name = _name
           Me.customerID = _custId
           Me.mobile = _mobile
           Me.email = _email
       End Sub
   
       Public Property Name As String
           Get
               Return name
           End Get
       End Property
   
       Public Property CustomerID As String
           Get
               Return customerID
           End Get
       End Property
   
       Public Property Mobile As String
           Get
               Return mobile
           End Get
       End Property
   
       Public Property Email As String
           Get
               Return email
           End Get
       End Property
   End Class
   

   • C#

   public class Customer
   {
       string name;
       string customerID;
       string mobile;
       string email;
       public Customer(string _name, string _custId, string _mobile, string _email)
       {
           this.name = _name;
           this.customerID = _custId;
           this.mobile = _mobile;
           this.email = _email;
       }
   
       public string Name
       {
           get
           {
               return name;
           }
       }
       public string CustomerID
       {
           get
           {
               return customerID;
           }
       }
       public string Mobile
       {
           get
           {
               return mobile;
           }
       }
       public string Email
       {
           get
           {
               return email;
           }
       }
   }
   

2. Add objects of Customer class to a BindingList and set C1MultiSelect’s DataSource and DisplayMemberPath properties at Form_Load event.
   • VB
   • C#

   • VB

   Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
       Dim customers As BindingList(Of Customer) = New BindingList(Of Customer)()
       customers.Add(New Customer("John", "C001", "8888832141", "john@gmail.com"))
       customers.Add(New Customer("Alex", "C002", "8888832142", "@gmail.com"))
       customers.Add(New Customer("Shawn", "C003", "8888832143", "shawn@gmail.com"))
       customers.Add(New Customer("Sam", "C004", "8888832144", "sam@gmail.com"))
       customers.Add(New Customer("Neo", "C005", "8888832145", "neo@gmail.com"))
       customers.Add(New Customer("Paul", "C006", "8888832146", "paul@gmail.com"))
       
       c1MultiSelect1.BindingInfo.DataSource = customers
       c1MultiSelect1.BindingInfo.DisplayMemberPath = "Name"
   End Sub
   

   • C#

   private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {
      BindingList<Customer> customers = new BindingList<Customer>();
      customers.Add(new Customer("John", "C001", "8888832141","john@gmail.com"));
      customers.Add(new Customer("Alex", "C002", "8888832142", "@gmail.com"));
      customers.Add(new Customer("Shawn", "C003", "8888832143", "shawn@gmail.com"));
      customers.Add(new Customer("Sam", "C004", "8888832144", "sam@gmail.com"));
      customers.Add(new Customer("Neo", "C005", "8888832145", "neo@gmail.com"));
      customers.Add(new Customer("Paul", "C006", "8888832146", "paul@gmail.com"));
   
      c1MultiSelect1.BindingInfo.DataSource = customers;               
      c1MultiSelect1.BindingInfo.DisplayMemberPath ="Name";    
   }
