when i add an item of type shape (which is a class i made), then it is displayed as myAppName.Shape in the listbox. how do i get it to display it as shape.name, which is the name property stored as a string. i realize i could add shape.name, but then i would lose the rest of the information of the shape object. i want all the data of each object saved in the listbox, but i want the display to be shape.name\
thanks for all the quick answers...
