Jump to PostI think you need a slight redesign. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding your intentions but you are making an array of 20 strings but each entry will take up 6 of those strings. You'll only have 3 records. I would make a list of string arrays that are each 6 elements long. …

I would like to have the user click display button when a contact name is selected in the listbox, and display all information for that contact in textboxes for first name, last name, street address, city, state, zip code.

Yes, I want the information to display back to the textboxes.

I think you need a slight redesign. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding your intentions but you are making an array of 20 strings but each entry will take up 6 of those strings. You'll only have 3 records. I would make a list of string arrays that are each 6 elements long. Then it's just a matter of matching up the index in the list box with the index of the list and assigning the elements to the appropriate TextBox.Text. So figure out how you'd like to store your information (there are other options beyond the one I suggested of course) and post back with your code.

Hi BarbJones7,
Actually you have to make several changes in your code.
for starters:public string[,] addressString = new String[20, 7];this will give the user to enter data in a two dimensional array and will only accept no more than 20 addresses. The 7 is simply the amount of textboxes where the data will go to when selected from the listbox.
You will alsso need to loop around the addressArray
for (int index = 0; index < 20; index++)Try this on your addButton:
int addressCounter; // Check to see if the address book is full with 20 addresses. if (btnClickCounter <= 20) { // Sets the array index. addressCounter = btnClickCounter - 1; // Fills in the array with the data entered by the user. addressString[addressCounter, 0] = txtFirst.Text; addressString[addressCounter, 1] = txtLast.Text; addressString[addressCounter, 2] = txtAdd1.Text; addressString[addressCounter, 3] = txtAdd2.Text; addressString[addressCounter, 4] = txtCity.Text; addressString[addressCounter, 5] = txtState.Text; addressString[addressCounter, 6] = txtZip.Text; // Places the Last Name, First Name into the list box. lstBxNames.Items.Add(addressString[addressCounter, 1] + ", " + addressString[addressCounter, 0]); // Sorts the list box by Last Name, First Name. lstBxNames.Sorted = true; // Clears the input fields for a new address input. txtFirst.Text = ""; txtLast.Text = ""; txtAdd1.Text = ""; txtAdd2.Text = ""; txtCity.Text = ""; txtState.Text = ""; txtZip.Text = ""; // Sets the focus back to First Name Text Box. txtFirst.Focus(); // Add a button click to count how many addresses. btnClickCounter++; } else { // If over 20 addresses. MessageBox.Show("Only 20 Addresses permitted", "Error"); txtFirst.Text = ""; txtLast.Text = ""; txtAdd1.Text = ""; txtAdd2.Text = ""; txtCity.Text = ""; txtState.Text = ""; txtZip.Text = ""; // Sets the focus back to First Name Text Box. txtFirst.Focus(); } } private void btnExit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { // This button will exit the program. this.Close(); }
