adding links to a listbox [RESOLVED]

[shadowfyre]

vbdotnetboy, as per usual, that thought hit me 3 minutes after I hit the post button.

So now I have:

For Each da As String In DArray
    defLink.Text = da
    defLink.NavigateUrl = "http://www.company.com/infolog.asp?info=" + da
    ListBox1.Items.Add(defLink)
Next

Stepping through the code, the attributes get populated correctly, but the listbox displays "System.Web.UI.MobileControls.Link".

Hmmm... VBnetFan at first I didn't think your idea applied, but now I have an idea. Say that DArray is already sorted and I do:

For Each da As String In DArray
    ListBox1.Items.Add(da)
Next

This populates the listbox. Then I could get the selectedindexchanged event to trigger it like this:

Private Sub ListBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ListBox1.SelectedIndexChanged
    Process.Start("http://www.company.com/infolog.asp?info=" + sender.text)
End Sub

The problem is getting the text of the selected index. Any idea on how to do that?

Got it, "ListBox1.SelectedItem", Duh!

Private Sub ListBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ListBox1.SelectedIndexChanged
    Process.Start("http://www.company.com/infolog.asp?info=" + ListBox1.SelectedItem)
End Sub

Thanks guys.
