why dont you load the items first into an array and then bind the listbox to the array?

Dim myItems As New ArrayList()

For Each i As String In Me.ListBox1.Items

myItems.Add(i)

again. . .

load the strings into an arraylist first. . .

then just do

ListBox1.DataSource = MyArrayList

quit moving collections around. . . load them one place and bind your controls to them.

but if you must:

Dim al As New ArrayList(ListBox1.Items)

How do you load the strings into an arraylist? Could you explain that part? I have the same idea as the thread started.. I want to search my listbox items effectively using array..so i want to load all the items into an array..and search using the array..

Since u advised that he/she/we should load the strings in one place and bind the listbox to the array, could you give an example? Thanx..

Because I can't stand vb and refuse to code in it unless I am getting paid. . . god what a dog. . . this is in C#

List<string> _stringList = new List<string>();

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

_stringList.AddRange(new String[] {"foo","bar"});

listBox1.DataSource = _stringList;

}

Blair it's nice to see you again.

Please DO NOT start the VB stuff. If you don't like VB, I have a really good piece of advice. Stay out of VB fora and you won't be bothered. I won't go in C forum and criticize their language, ok?

And how about not posting C# in a VB Forum?

P.S. Tell BSDetector, I said hello!
