You can use the following steps to program Listbox Functionality in VB.net :

• First create a new windows application after opening the VB.net application.
• In your blank form, add a listbox, two buttons and a textbox.
• Then change the text property of the first button to "Add".
• After that change the text property of the second button to "Remove".
• Now to bring up the button's click event, double-click on the "Add" button.
• Here you will have to add the codes for the adding the items in listbox.
• Do same thing for the remove button.
• Lastly run the program by pressing the F5.
• Type something into the textbox then click the "Add" button. You will see that it has been added to the listbox. Now click on the item in the listbox and click the "remove" button. You will notice that the item has been removed.

You can use the following guides for creating the ListBox in VB.net :
For creating a new VB.NET Windows forms ListBox, you can use the code \

Dim listbox As New ListBox

If you want to assign a new location for the VB.NET Windows Forms ListBox you can use :

listbox.Location = New Point(0, 0)

If you want to add a VB.NET ListBox control to the form, you can do by

Me.Controls.Add(listbox)

For assigning a Selection Mode value to the VB.NET ListBox control, use

listbox.SelectionMode = SelectionMode.MultiExtended

Mainly, you need to add an item to the ListBox control in Vb.Net and you can do this by using the code :

Dim s1 As String = "DELL"
Dim s2 As String = "HP"
Dim s3 As String = "SONY"
listbox.Items.AddRange(New String() {s1, s2, s3})

For making a selection of items we make the ListBox control. THe advantage of making the ListBox Control is that we can select one or more than one of the items from the list. The ListBox control is based on the ListControl class which is based on the Control class. The SelectedIndexChanged is the default event of ListBox, which looks like the following code :

Private Sub ListBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ListBox1.SelectedIndexChanged

End Sub

If you want to display the index of an item you can use the following code :

Private Sub ListBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ListBox1.SelectedIndexChanged
TextBox1.Text = ListBox1.SelectedIndex
'using the selected index property of the list box to select the index
End Sub

Also if you want to display the item selected from ListBox in a TextBox, you can use the following code :

Private Sub ListBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object,_
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ListBox1.SelectedIndexChanged
TextBox1.Text = ListBox1.SelectedItem
'using the selected item property
End Sub
