Assigning a "tag" to a listbox item

[Dan]

Is there any way to assign a tag value to each item in a listbox?

One technique that I use is to create a new class with the overridden
"ToString" property set to return what I want to display and a Tag property.
I then add instances of this class to the listbox items collection.

Hi,

I have used a hashtable for this. Use the listbox item as the key
for the data.

Just ignore the German text and look directly at the code:

What I've done is attach an ArrayList to the tag. You can then have a
one-to-one correspondence between the listbox items and the ArrayList.

Thanks very much Herfried. Do you know of a way to get Google (or some other
service) to translate your web pages? They look quite interesting...

Good advice by all. I miss ItemData.

I feel sorry, but AFAIS Google's automatic translation service doesn't work
very well with my website. Maybe it's caused by the XHTML markup I use.
