retrieving listbox data

bassically i want pull the info out the list boxs so i can check if certain stuff has been selected.

ive tryed stuff like.

item = ListBox1.Items.Item(1)

but get this error
InvalidArgument=Value of '1' is not valid for 'index'. Parameter name: index

As for all .NET collections, the Items property of the ListBox is zero-based, so the first item is at index 0. If you want to get all items you can use a loop like so:

vb.net Code:

For Each item As Object In ListBox1.Items
    MessageBox.Show(item.ToString())
Next Item

or:

vb.net Code:

For index As Integer = 0 To ListBox1.Count - 1 Step 1
    MessageBox.Show(ListBox1.Items(index))
Next index

thx, worked a treat :)
