You are getting the error becuase there is no item after the last item in the list. I am not sure what you are trying to accomplish, but you should check to see if you are currently selecting the last item in the list (use ListBox.Items.Count) and either don't move change the selectedIndex or you could set the selectedIndex to 0, to go back to the first item in the list.

Better to use Environment.NewLine becuase it will return the correct value for the operating system in which you are running.

first of all do you get an error?? (if so please post it) second: you are trying to convert an control of the type listbox to an array (with this code) that will not work you will probaly have run trough you'r listboxitems and add them to the array Dim qq As String() = {0} for each l as listboxitem in listbox1.itmes qq(0) = l.text next or something like this

use 'new' dim dd as new array

Then iterate over the items collection. For Each Object item In MyListBox.Items ...
