Help starting with VB .NET programming

Add a listbox and a textbox to your form. Add Items to your listbox using this method: ListBox1.Items.Add("One") ListBox1.Items.Add("Two") ListBox1.Items.Add("Three") ListBox1.Items.Add("Four") Then from the form, double click on the listbox. It will take you to the code for changing the selection in the list box. From there set the text for the textbox to the selected item in the list box, as follows: Private Sub ListBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ListBox1.SelectedIndexChanged TextBox1.Text = ListBox1.SelectedItem End Sub Now, as for adding items to the list box, the above method is probably not what you'd want to use in real-life. You probably will want to get a list of items from a database table. But the above was just a quick and easy way to get somethign in the list box. HTH, Jennifer
