listbox additem

[vishalmarya]

i want to add items in a listbox along with its corresponding id.

my code :


Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim obj As class1

obj = New class1
obj.name = "xyz"
obj.id = 1

ListBox1.Items.Add(obj)

obj = New class1
obj.name = "pqr"
obj.id = 2

ListBox1.Items.Add(obj)


End Sub

Private Class class1

Public name As String
Public id As Integer

End Class

result shown on the form is :


windowsapplication1.form1+class1
windowsapplication1.form1+class1

Any suggestions.

You cannot do that with the WinForms ListBox, only with the WebForms version. If you want a hidden value associated with each displayed value then you have to create a data source and bind it to the ListBox. If you aren't aware of how to use them already, look up the DataSource, DisplayMember, ValueMember and SelectedValue properties.

You'd be better off using the ListView control. You could stored hidden values in each ListViewItem's Tag property.
