listbox and arrays

[saurabhkunal]

how to move the contents of listbox to arrays and get highest two entries...

[Plater]

Listboxs already store there items in an array (well, Collection, but they work the same for most things). You can just access index 0 and 1 (or 1 and 2 if in VBNET?) of the items.

As far as C# is concern write down following code to copy content
of listbox to array....

int k = listBox1.Items.Count;
int[] i = new int[10];
int a = 0;
for (int j = 0; j < k; j++)
{
i[a++] = int.Parse(listBox1.Items[j].ToString());
}

Here i have assume that listbox contain integer value. Once data store
in array now i have left remaining work for u to find two highest value..

Bye....Enjoy Coding

It's pretty straight forward.

This should be code for using the "top" two elements.

Dim mystr1 as String("")
Dim mystr2 as String("")
 
'I think Array indexes in VB start with 1, if they start with 0 like they should
'Then just change the 1 and 2 to 0 and 1
mystr1=listBox1.Items(1).ToString()
mystr1=listBox1.Items(2).ToString()

i have retrieved 3 marks of a student and i have to select best two
out of them.i used the sort property of listbox so that marks comes
in sorted order and i can take the best two marks but its not working.
how can i take best two marks from the listbox.another way which i thought
was to transfer the contents of listbox to array sort it and take the values
at indices 1 and 2 which will be highest and second highest
but i was not able to write the code for that.how can i
do this or can u tell me any other method to do this....
