Simple question:

How do I display the currently selected item in a listbox??

Listbox1.SelectedIndex gives me the number, but .SelectedValue gives me an error.

lb.items.add("gary")
lb.items.add("joe")
lb.items.add("bill")

Now, how do I get'em back?
 
I am populating it from an Access table of Names, but listbox1.selecteditem.value gives an error too.

Whay did they make this so hard. VB6 was so much better. Ya gotta be a C geek to understand this .net stuff.

No offense to the C people, you can have that language.
