this question is about the voting procedure, the place im having problem is once the nomination of candidates is complete, i have to save the candidates in a array to continue the voting process, which is exactly what im having difficulty with.

What I have tried:

Private Sub btnnominate_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnnominate.Click
lstcandidate.Items.Add(txtname.Text)
End Sub

Private Sub btnconfirm_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnconfirm.Click
Dim candidates() As String
Dim i As Integer
ReDim candidates(lstcandidate.Items.Count)
For i =0 to lstcandidate.items.count
lstcandidate.SelectedIndex=i-1

candidates(i) = lstcandidate.Items(i)

Without information we cannot help, we cannot see your screen, what is the error message and which line?

For i =0 to lstcandidate.items.count

Should be:

For i =0 to lstcandidate.items.count - 1

Why set the selectedindex, no need.

You for Loop goes out of the index. Do it like this and it should work:

VB.NET

Private Sub btnconfirm_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnconfirm.Click
  Dim candidates() As String
  ReDim candidates(lstcandidate.Items.Count)
  lstcandidate.Items.CopyTo(candidates, 0)
  //...
