    You'd write something like this

    text1.text = ListBox1.Items.Item(2).ToString()

    The array holding the items is zero based, which means the 3rd item is really the 2nd element in the array.

      that's correct. It's zero based indexing starting at the top. The last item will always be listbox1.items.count - 1. Remember the minus 1 when working with listboxes. You can also check if a listbox has any item selected through: if listbox1.selectedindex = -1 then 'none is selected end if

                hi I have another question, Like I said, I want to read the selected line with textbox. how to highlight the line in the listbox? or is it possible to do some text change, such as make it bold, or add some extra text like: ">>" + the line in the list box + "<<" in the line in the listbox? Please Help, Thanks

                      NO DON'T USE THAT PLEASE! That is a bad habit, to form a dependency on old vb6 methods, you should learn the new way because those methods will be phased out, most likely in the next edition. Do this: me.listbox1.selectedindex = 'whatever number between 0 and listbox1.count - 1 or a variable
