listBox->Items->Add(TextBox1->Text); that line just appears to be incorrect. When adding in items to your list box try using listBox.InsertString or listBox.SetItemData

If that isn't your problem please past this information from your code file.

Your object declaration
Your initialization of your Object
Your code which prepares data for the list box.
Your code which actually adds the item to the list box.
