Seperating text in a textbox?

[Raeki]

With your properties problem, here's what your new class should look like:

Friend Class PeopleClass
Private xFirst as String = ""
Private xLast as String = ""
Private xCountry As String = ""
     Public Property FirstName() As String
          Get
               Return xFirst
          End Get
          Set (ByVal value As String)
               xFirst = value
          End Set
     End Property

     Public Property LastName() As String
          Get
               Return xLast
          End Get
          Set (ByVal value As String)
               xLast = value
          End Set
     End Property

     Public Property Country() As String
          Get
               Return xCountry
          End Get
          Set (ByVal value As String)
               xCountry = value
          End Set
     End Property
End Class

Now that you have that class, you can define a list(Of Class), like so:

Private ListPeople As New List(Of PeopleClass)

Then add to the class like this (probably not the best way)

Dim firstArr() As String = TextBox1.Text.Split(","c)
For i As Integer = 0 to firstArr.Count -1 Step 3
      Dim nClass As New PeopleClass
      With nClass
            .FirstName = firstArr(i).Split(":"c)(1).Trim
            .LastName = firstArr(i+1).Split(":"c)(1).Trim
            .Country = firstArr(i+2).Split(":"c)(1).Trim
       End With
       ListPeople.Add(nClass)
Next

And you can now simply assign the list as a datasource to a listbox and display a specific property or whatever.

Thanks The class code worked, and makes sense, but with the listboxing code it seems to split up the name and put it in each listbox, and I don't know what happens to the rest of the info. Trying something else right now though

btw what is the c for in (":"c)? i don't seem to find anything with it
