This part works ok but I also want to count the files displayed in the listbox using the folloing code. CODE int test = fileListBox1.items.count; This works fine in VB but when run in C# I get the following error QUOTE 'Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility.VB6.FileListBox' does not contain a definition for 'items' and no extension method 'items' accepting a first argument of type 'Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility.VB6.FileListBox' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) hopefully I have ade it clearer

A list of all the members applicable to filelistbox comes up in a drop down box (also known as intellisence). But for some reason I do not get 'Items' in the drop down box.

Did you add a reference to Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility to your project? However, I can't see any Items property there. This post has been edited by PixelCard: 23 Jul, 2008 - 11:17 AM

using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

using Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility.VB6;


namespace testVBFileList
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        FileListBox flb = new FileListBox();

        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

            flb.Top = 30;
            flb.Left = 30;
            flb.Height = 200;
            flb.Width = 200;
            flb.Click +=new EventHandler(flb_Click);
            this.Controls.Add(flb);
        }
        private void flb_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            FileListBox f = (FileListBox)sender;
            

            MessageBox.Show(f.Items.Count.ToString());
        }
    }
