converting problem from VB6 to B NET 2005..

I have this code;

Private Sub List1_DoubleClick(ByVal eventSender As System.Object, ByVal eventArgs As System.EventArgs) Handles List1.DoubleClick
        Dim fileName As String
        If List1.Items.Count > 0 Then
            'UPGRADE_WARNING: Dir has a new behavior. Click for more: 'ms-help://MS.VSCC.v80/dv_commoner/local/redirect.htm?keyword="9B7D5ADD-D8FE-4819-A36C-6DEDAF088CC7"'
            fileName = Dir(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath & "\words\" & VB6.GetItemString(List1, List1.SelectedIndex) & "\")
            List2.Items.Clear()
            Do 
                If fileName = "" Then
                    Exit Do
                Else
                    List2.Items.Insert(List2.Items.Count, fileName)
                    'UPGRADE_WARNING: Dir has a new behavior. Click for more: 'ms-help://MS.VSCC.v80/dv_commoner/local/redirect.htm?keyword="9B7D5ADD-D8FE-4819-A36C-6DEDAF088CC7"'
                    fileName = Dir()
                End If
            Loop 
            Randomize()
            List2.SelectedIndex = Rnd() * (List2.Items.Count - 1)
            Text1.Text = VB6.GetItemString(List2, List2.SelectedIndex)
            List2.Items.RemoveAt((List2.SelectedIndex))
        End If
    End Sub

and I got this message as it seen here :
'UPGRADE_WARNING: Dir has a new behavior

Just remove the Dir call and use the Listbox .SelectedItem property in order to get the value that is selected...

Dim Filename As String = My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath & "\words\" & ListBox1.SelectedItem.ToString & "\"
MessageBox.Show(Filename)

Although it may seem like a huge task, it is sometimes far easy to rebuild your projects from scratch when you upgrade from VB 6.

Just look up StreamReader in this forum, you should pull several examples, as reading text from a file is a common question. In particular, the .ReadLine method is used to read a line of text, then its just a matter of splitting the string or using some other sort of string manipulation in order to display the two different values in the line...

Alternatively, you can read the entire file one time into a string array, and then just access the string array in order to display or manipulate the line you want, so you dont have to read the file each time you wish to display something...
