How to SET the value of a Listview / Combobox item?

[bmahler]

use

Me.ListBox1.SelectedItem.ToString()

but you will need to override the ToString method of your class like so

    Private Class Person

        Private _Name As String
        Private _PhoneNumber As String

        Public Sub New(ByVal Name As String, ByVal PhoneNumber As String)
            _Name = Name
            _PhoneNumber = PhoneNumber
        End Sub

        Public Sub New()

        End Sub

        Public Property Name() As String
            Get
                Return _Name
            End Get
            Set(ByVal value As String)
                _Name = value
            End Set
        End Property

        Public Property PhoneNumber() As String
            Get
                Return _PhoneNumber
            End Get
            Set(ByVal value As String)
                _PhoneNumber = value
            End Set
        End Property

        Public Overrides Function ToString() As String
            Return _Name
        End Function

    End Class

Can I sort the people array list by name?

people.sort()

doesn´t work. It stops with error "InvalidOperationException"

[belinea2003]

No idea?

[belinea2003]

Really no way to sort the people alphabetically ?

I have another problem.

I can select a contact in the dropdown by it it´s telephone number

Me.listbox1.SelectedValue = "555-125-4587"

But I cannot select a contact in the dropdown by it´s name.

Me.listbox1.SelectedItem = "John Doe"

When I try this, the dropdown stays at the current selected entry.

Can you help me again bmahler? Thank you...
