Answer 1

Try the following if there are equal items in both ListBox controls

For x As Integer = 0 To ListBox1.Items.Count - 1
    DataGridView1.Rows.Add(New Object() {ListBox1.Items(x).ToString, ListBox2.Items(x).ToString})
Next

Hello Georges,

In short the for/next provides access to each item in both ListBox controls assuming they both have the same amount of items in the for/next we add a new row to the DataGridView Row collection. Best to review the properties and methods of each control to better understand this logic via the links provided which will assist in future coding when working with these controls. Hope this helps.
