Hi there,

I'm trying to create a check if a string value already is contained inside a ListBox which has over 45000 values in it. The problem I have is the function:



listBox1->Items->Contains(....);



only accepts objects inside the contains parameters, but I want to check a std::string value with it.

Before you suggest using ToString:



listBox1->Items->ToString()->Contains(myString);



It doesnt work because that makes the parameter a System::String not std::string. I'm most likely talking rubish but please do correct me and give me ideas on how to go about this.

Thanks in advance

Nevermind, I've found a solution by turning std::string to System::String

Thanks
