The error is because an event is firing with nothing in the SelectedItems...
so trying to access contents[0] fails because there is nothing in contents.
Its a bit strange that there is an event fired with no selected items - it
seems that, when you click on a 2nd different item (without the shift key -
i.e. not making a multi selection), internally the listbox selection is
cleared, causing the event to fire with SelectedItems containing nothing,
before the 2nd item is added to the SelectedItems and the event is fired
again.
You should always protect against there being no selection anyway,
especially in a multiselect listbox - i.e. something like this:
if (contents.Count > 0)
textBox1.Text = contents[0].SubItems[1].Text;
else
textBox1.Text = "(Nothing)";
