Displaying folder contents in a listbox

[nondrinker]

Hello,

I have been trying to display the contents of a folder in a list box but so far i am having some problems. The closest i have come to is display the file name in a multiline textbox using this code.
***********************************
Dim varFolderPath As String
varFolderPath = "\\[My folder path here]"

Dim objFile As FileInfo
Dim objDir As DirectoryInfo
Dim t As String
t = ""

For Each objFile In objDir.GetFiles("*.*")

Try

txtFiles.Text = objFile.Name.ToString
If t <> "" Then
t = t & ";"

End If
t = objFile.Name.ToString
txtFiles.Text = t
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox("Error in displaying files")
End Try

Next

************************************
But what this code does is just display the name of the last file in the folder instead of all the files. But eventually i would like to use a listbox, instead of a text box to display the names of all files in the folder.
I am using MS VisualStudio .NET 2003.

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanu you.

txtFiles.Text = t

The line above means that the Text property is reset on each loop. Try using &= instead of just =.

Thank you for your time.
Instead of using the multiline text box, i changed it to a listbox (named lstbox) and adding this line of code did the trick: lstBox.Items.Add(t)
