listbox Help

is there a way to retrieve text value from a listbox based on index ?

like if i enter index 0 and want to retrieve it's text value from the listbox

Access the Items collection, i.e:

vb.net Code:

Dim value As String = Me.ListBox1.Items(0).ToString()

thanks alot
one more question if you please
if i have many items in my listbox and in some of them ther's symbol (%u) and i want to replase it with certain text but the items index could change any time
how to do this?

vb.net Code:

Public Class Form1
 
    Protected Overrides Sub OnLoad(ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
        MyBase.OnLoad(e)
 
        Me.ReplaceListBoxText(Me.ListBox1, "u%", String.Empty)
 
    End Sub
 
    Public Sub ReplaceListBoxText(ByVal lb As ListBox, _
                                  ByVal find As String, _
                                  ByVal replacement As String)
 
        '//loops all items
        For index = 0 To lb.Items.Count - 1
            lb.Items(index) = lb.Items(index).ToString() _
                                             .Replace(find, replacement)
        Next
 
    End Sub
 
End Class

i make it that way

vb Code:

dim i as integer = answer.indexof("any word")
                        Dim sshort As String = answer.Items(i).ToString
                        Dim suser As String = Replace(sshort, "%u", sNic)

i want to add to my listbox long string and i get this error

the field is too small to accept the amount of data you attempted to add. try to inserting or pasting less data

how can i make my list box accept long string item
