>>>Hoping someone can guide an C# newbie. I'm looping through an array, and I want to add each element to a listbox on the form. But for each item, I want to preference it with the element name/number. I can't get past the compiler error with the code below, but if I remove the ctext="PID:" += i.ToString(); line it does add the text of the array item to the listbox.

>>>PID:1 element 1 text
>>>PID:2 element 2 text

>>            // Loop through each item and add to listbox
>>            string ctext = String.Empty;
>>            for(int i=0;i<PID_Data.Length;i++)
>>            {
>>                ctext = "PID: " & i.ToString() & PID_Data[i];
>>                listBox1.Items.Add(ctext);
>>                ctext = String.Empty;

What is wrong with it? I took my best shot but know nothing about C#.
