while(myDataReader.Read())	//fill ListBox1
{
	strResult += myDataReader.GetString(1) + "<br>";		
	ListBox1.Items.Add(myDataReader.GetString(1));	
				
				
	}						}

Sorry about the previous message.

I'm running the following code to populate a listbox:

while(myDataReader.Read()) 
{
       ListBox1.Items.Add(myDataReader.GetString(1)); 
}

This code adds items to the listbox that are visible in the listbox.
I want to also add an associated value for each item.
Does anyone know the syntax for doing that?
I don't want to use databinding here as there are actions I'd like to
take
after the addition of each item.

Alex,

Use this:

	ListBox1.Items.Add(new ListItem(myDataReader.GetString(1),
myDataReader.GetString(1)))

Be sure you replace the second GetString index with what ever is appropriate
for your list item value.
That should do it for you.

Peter

If you want two or more columns of data in your listbox you need to string
the items together as one.  The listbox does not have multiple columns.  You
will want to make sure that the font you use is one which has all characters
the same size and you pad each item on the right to make them all the same
length.

I got it done, I was talking about doing this:

	while (myDataReader.Read())
	{
		ListItem myItem = new ListItem();
		myItem.Value = myDataReader.GetGuid(0).ToString();
		myItem.Text = myDataReader.GetString(1);
		ListBox1.Items.Add(myItem);
	}
