[Troy]

Hello,

I'm storing my student objects in a list box and using the displaymember to
display to display the student first name and lastname.

lstStudents.Dis playMember = "LastFirst"

Dim tmpStudent As Student
For Each tmpStudent In mStudents
lstStudents.Ite ms.Add(tmpStude nt)
Next
lblCount.Text = mStudents.Count .ToString()

Now i need to extract the objects from the list based on user selection. I
know it has something to do with selecteditem but cant figure it out.

Help is appreciated

thanks
