It depends what you want to do with the item. Unlike a ListViewItem, a list box item is just an object, whose ToString() method is called to render its text in the list box. /ravi

zeeShan, I hope this helps. It depends on what you want to do with your items. They are usually cast at some point. Consider this code. When something is selected in listBox1, it copies all of the contents into listBox2: private void listBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) { foreach (string item in listBox1.Items) { listBox2.Items.Add(item); } }

Here i provide you source code wish that help you : for example if you want to calculate all values of liste item . Dim sum As Integer For Each item As String In data.ListBox1.Items sum += Double.Parse(item) Next textbox1.text = sum It will show total value of Items
