how to get the items on by one

Answer 1

 IList<string> items = new List<string>();

 foreach(ListItem item in myListBox.Items)
 {
     items.Add(item.Text);
 }

Answer 2

if you need to pick out specific items you can do following (nul-based) :

string item = lstItems.Items[index].toString();

if you need all items in a list, you can use David's method, or much shorter, use this

var myList = lbMyListBox.Items.Cast<String>().ToList();
