ListItem namespace/ref

[Guest]

Hi all,
I am using VS 2005 Beta 2. Which assembly (namespace?) should I use for the
ListItem class? I don't have the Help files installed on my notebook for
space reasons; I use MSDN2 online instead. I see ListItem as derived from
System.Web.UI.Controls namespace. Am I missing something here? I am
creating a Windows application by the way.

Amil,

It's in the System.Web.UI.WebControls namespace.

Hope this helps.

Amil,

Wait, how come you are using web controls for a windows project?

Are you sure you don't want the ListViewItem class in the
System.Windows.Forms namespace?

I am using a ListBox control.

Amil,

If that is the case, then you can add anything as an item to the
control. The ToString method is called on the item, and that is used to
populate the list.

Thanks Nicholas.

My problem really is how to evaluate the text of the selected item of the
listbox. It seems that I have to include the System.Web.UI.WebControls
namespace in my windows form, which kind of doesn't make sense, to be able to
create a ListItem object. An item in a ListBox evaluates to a ListItem
object, correct?

Amil,

No, an item in the ListBox for Windows Forms does not evaluate to a
ListItem. It evaluates to object. You can store an object of any type in a
ListBox control for Windows Forms.
