How do I get control over the text of a listbox items in VB.Net

[PaulBrains]

I was trying to sum up all the items of a listbox in Visual Studio 2005. I tried to loop (from 0 to ListBox.Items.C ount - 1) as follows


For j as Integer = 0 to ListBox.Items.C ount - 1
sum = sum + val(ListBox.Ite ms.Item(j))
Next

My problem is: the sum variable keeps returning 0, and the
ListBox.Items.I tem(j) does not have a text property or value property. So, please how do I get hold on the text of an item of a listBox in VB.Net?

Hi,

Please check the no of items in the listbox.It is possible that the no of items in the listbox are zero because of it, the code written for doing sum in the For Loop is not executed.
