VB

        Dim empname As New ArrayList
        Dim empcode As New ArrayList
        empname.Add("arun")
        empname.Add("karthick")
        empname.Add("rajan")
        empcode.Add("100")
        empcode.Add("101")
        empcode.Add("102")
        For i = 0 To empname.Count - 1
            ListBox1.Items.Add(empname(i) & Space(200) & empcode(i))
        Next
        'retrieve
        Dim SelEmpCode As String = ""
        For i = 0 To ListBox1.Items.Count - 1
            SelEmpCode = ListBox1.Items(i).ToString.Substring(ListBox1.Items(i).ToString.LastIndexOf(" "))
            If Trim("" & SelEmpCode) = "101" Then
                ListBox1.SelectedIndex = i
            End If
        Next
