You need to save your listbox infomation in a database like MSSQL ..

 

Then when you read your data something like this

 

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)_

Handles MyBase.Load

myConnection = New SqlConnection("server=localhost;uid=sa;pwd=;database=pubs")

'establishing connection. you need to provide password for sql server

Try

myConnection.Open()

'opening the connection

myCommand = New SqlCommand("Select price from discounts", myConnection)

'executing the command and assigning it to connection

dr = myCommand.ExecuteReader()

While dr.Read()

ListBox1.Items.Add(dr("price").ToString())

 

'displaying the data from the table

End While

dr.Close()

myConnection.Close()

Catch e As Exception

End Try

End Sub

'Then is you get a update save it to the database  then retrieve it

You should read the text file line by line and add it it list box

 

http://vb.net-informations.com/files/vb.net_TextReader.htm

 

            Dim line As String

            Dim readFile As System.IO.TextReader = New StreamReader("C:\TextReader.txt")

            While True

                line = readFile.ReadLine()

ListBox1.Items.Add(line)

                If line Is Nothing Then

                    Exit While

                Else

                    MsgBox(line)

                End If

            End While

            readFile.Close()
