>>>>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.

>>>Try the updated code:

>>>            string[] PID_Data = PIDString.Split(fieldSplitter);
>>>            // 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;
>>>            }

ctext = "PID: " & i.ToString() & PID_Data[i];
//would be:
ctext = "PID: " AND i.ToString() AND PID_Data(i);
//in VB
