Populate an Array with Items in a ListBox

Jay

Hi Everyone,

I was hoping someone could help me. I need to take all the items I have in a list box and input them into an array. I have the array set up but I don't know how to put each item in the array. I already have....

int itemsCount = itemsListBox.Items.Count;

string[] items = new string[itemsCount];

But I am stuck here.

Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Jay

assuming you are adding only strings...

string[] array = new string[listBox1.Items.Count];

for (int i = 0; i < listBox1.Items.Count; i++)
{
object s = listBox1.Items[i];
array[i] = s.ToString();
}

Sorry, that last reply got a little garbled.

for (int i = 0; i < itemsCount; i++)
items[i] = itemsListBox.Items[i].ToString();

Something along the lines of:

int itemsCount = itemsListBox.Items.Count;string[] items = new string[itemsCount];
