Using Combo and Listboxes

hi all,

in the opinion of the developers here, what's the best way in VB.Net to store an index behind a combo box or list box object? in VB6, it was possible to have:

Code:

---

ComboBox.AddItem "Seven"
ComboBox.ItemData(ComboBox.NewIndex) = 7

---

This was neat way to store a record ID behind the line in the object. In .Net, they've taken that away from us. Does anyone know this .Net equivalent?

thanks
