thank you

First of all use a dataset to connect to the database.

Second, set the listbox datasource and display member to appropriate values,

Third add this code to your event:

Where dsEmployeeInformation is your datasets name

lstUsername is your listbox name

And assuming you have a column named "Employee Code"in your datatable.

Code:

---

  With dsEmployeeInformation.Employee_Information
            MessageBox.Show(Convert.ToString(.Rows(lstUsername.SelectedIndex)("Employee Code")))
        End With
