How to get an array (or something with indexing) for of list box items

[aewarnick]

Ms says the listbox.SelectedItems returns a SelectedObjectCollection but this does not work:

 

SelectedObjectCollection x= this.listBox.SelectedItems;

 

What am I doing wrong? The compiler does not know what a SelectedObjectCollection is.

You want ListBox.SelectedObjectCollection, not just SelectedObjectCollection.

That works but it did not show up in the context menu as an auto complete. Even when I use System.Windows.Forms.ListBox it does not show up.

 

Also, I cannot use x.Length to reference each object in the collection and there is no context menu at all when I press x then a dot. Do I need a reference or something?
