listview equivalent to VB6 listindex

[Stealthrt]

I am trying to get the following VB6 listindex to work within my vb.net code:

    setTheR CStr(payReq.ItemData(payReq.ListIndex))

But if i copy and paste that into VB.net it wont accept it.

This is what VB.net did with the converting of the VB6 to .net code:

    strContract = payReq.Items.Item(payReq.FocusedItem.Index).Text

However, checking that value it returns the name instead of the index. While the VB6 code returns the value of 2311 (which is what it needs to return)

When i add items to the listview i do this:

    Item = payReq.Items.Add(rsPayRequests.Fields("userid").Value)
    Item.SubItems.Insert(1, New System.Windows.Forms.ListViewItem.ListViewSubItem(Nothing,   VB6.Format(rsPayRequests.Fields("reqdatetime").Value, "mm/dd/yyyy")))

But i noticed it does this as well:

    payReq.Items.Add(New VB6.ListBoxItem(Item, rsPayRequests.Fields("requestNum").Value))

But that does not work with my listview in .net since that above is a listbox and not a listview. Is there an equivalent in .net for the listbox to have a custom index?

Any help would be great!
