ListItem without System.Web.UI.WebControls

Thanks Jaish,
That's some sound advise although I'm surprised that such a useful control is confined so strictly to a using. I ended up keeping my Listbox and made my own ListItem class. Works great so far but if it bugs out I'll post the errors here.
Here's the code for those that are as rusty/new to this as I am:
public class ListItem
 { 
 private string id = string.Empty;
 private string name = string.Empty;
 public ListItem(string sid, string sname) 
 { 
 id = sid; 
 name = sname; 
 }
 public override string ToString() 
 { 
 return this.name;
 }
 public string ID 
 { 
 get
 {
 return this.id;
 } 
 set
 {
 this.id = value;
 } 
 } 
 public string Name 
 { 
 get
 {
 return this.name;
 } 
 set
 {
 this.name = value;
 } 
 } 
 }

And later in my code I use it like so:

foreach (DataRow dr in dt.Rows)
                {                  
                    string a = "This is a persons name";
                    string b = "This is an persons ID";
                    ListItem li = new ListItem(b, a);
                    lbPeople.Items.Insert(x, li);
    x++;
                }

EDIT: Here's the source I used:  forums.asp.net/t/1232340.aspx/1

A base rule to keep like don't use any classes under System.Web.UI.WebControls namespace for win froms. They are meant for web application development only. For WinForm you should use types under System.Windows.Form

The bolded part itself making sense. 1st one telling Web and 2nd one Windows. Ok, now you need to choose a control under System.Windows.Form

Normally it should be ComboBox, but it depend on you. See the link here to see how ComboBox control can use

Again don't try Web controls in WinForms and don't try windows controls to WebForm

Kyle,

If it's not web application, it might be a windows application, I am assuming. If so, you need to use ComboBox control. There are different set of built-in controls for web and windows applications and we need to choose them accordingly. Please read this link telling about built-in win form controls supported by .NET
