Private Sub btn_land_plane_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btn_land_plane.Click<br />
<br />
        Dim runwayindexno As Integer<br />
        Dim runwayfrmselected As Form<br />
        runwayindexno = lst_runways.SelectedIndex<br />
        runwayfrmselected = runway(runwayindexno)<br />

No code needed. Debug your application and see if runwayindexno is within the bounds of your runway collection.

The problem surely lies in the way VB.NET is handling array indices.
Obviously, in your .vb file there must be a
VB
Option Base 1

directive.

This has the effect of indexing arrays from 1 to Count.
Whereas the SelectedIndex of a ListBox returns a value between 0 and (Count - 1) (which corresponds to Option Base 0 in VB.NET).

You then have two alternatives :
- OR you set Option Base 0
- OR you convert every index obtained by adding it 1

The former is probably the best one, as this will lead to a kind of consistency with array indices in your application.

This occurs because runwayindexno is outside the index of the array runway. I think you're trying to do retrieve index from a list box and perform some operation.
