Is there a way to do this in C#?

Why wouldn't you just convert that VB.net code into C#?

So there is nothing to different changing code from vb to c#?

It does look like I can change it over pretty easy I just have not worked on this yet.

Ok I tried and Im stuck, what is "R"? and the "Next", is column = items?

This is where im at...

string strall = "";
string strDifference = "";
			
			//With listBox1
            //For (intcount = 0 To .ListCount - 1
           // With listBox2
           // For r = 0 To .ListCount - 1

                            if (listBox1.Items(0, intcount) = (0, r))
							{
								strDifference = "";
							}
							else 
							{
								strDifference = listBox1.Column(0, intcount);
							}
            
             Next r
             End With
                    if (strDifference = "")
					{
					}
					else
                    {
						strall = strall & "," & strDifference
					}

            Next intcount
			End With
			MsgBox Mid(strall, 2)
			End Sub

ok... are you just trying to see what items are different between the 2 list boxes?


ListBox1 has Items: ACBLP
ListBox2 has Items: BDAPL

Difference is C&D?

What I want to do is compare the items in listbox 1 against the items in listbox 2 and put the matches in a third listbox.

 

[JurkMonkey]

for (int i = 0; i < listbox1.Items.Count; i++)
{
for (int j = 0; j < listbox2.Items.Count; j++)
{
if (listbox1.Items.ToString() == listbox2.Items[j].ToString())
{
listbox3.Items.Add(listbox1.Items.ToString());
break;
}
}
}


Basically:

Get an item from the first listbox.
Go through each item in the second listbox to see if it has the same text as the first item
If it contains the item, then add it to the 3rd list.

For Example,

Ron Tamera
Josh Crystal
Billy Ron
Luis Shaq


And then place the matches(Ron) from listbox1 (Left)
and place them in a 3rd list box.

Use the above code

Thanks, works great, I changed it so it finds everything that does not == whats in the first box and added a 4th listbox that adds everything thats not in the 2nd listbox.

Thanks so much for all the help
