Most succinct way to convert ListBox.items to a generic list

Question

I am using C# and targeting the .NET Framework 3.5. I\'m looking for a small, succinct and efficient piece of code to copy all of the items in a ListBox to a List

Answer 1

A bit of LINQ should do it:-

 var myOtherList = lbMyListBox.Items.Cast().ToList();

Of course you can modify the Type parameter of the Cast to whatever type you have stored in the Items property.
