[RESOLVED] GetDirectories and Listbox's help

[blacksaibot]

It has to be a String since you're concatenating it with a string and storing it as one in your code.

dim sLB1SelectedFirst as String = ""

can you post code where ever you have that variable?

Does this change anything?
sLb1SelectedFirst = ListBox1.SelectedItem.ToString

It sounds like the contents of the listbox1 is not even a string datatype because it's trying to convert FROM directoryinfo INTO a string.
You are adding directoryinfos into your listbox that are not string datatypes (you're first block of code)

FORGET ALL THAT TRASH ABOVE.

Try doing this.

sLb1SelectedFirst = ListBox1.SelectedItem.FullName
This will give the full file path as a string. However, it looks like you don't want the full path within concatenation... is it just the file name you want?
