        } // end public Form1

        private void myButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            // Determine if there are any items checked.
            if (myCheckedListBox.CheckedItems.Count != 0)
            {
                // If so, loop through all checked items and print results.
                string s = "";
                for (int x = 0; x <= myCheckedListBox.CheckedItems.Count - 1; x++)
                {
                    s = s + "Checked Item " + (x + 1).ToString() + " = " + myCheckedListBox.CheckedItems[x].ToString() + "\n";
                }
                MessageBox.Show(s);
            }
            else
            {
                MessageBox.Show("No one checked");
            }
