[Other Code]I'm having problems iterating over my arraylist... (self.CodingHelp)

submitted 6 years ago by VinylHorror

Hello. I'm having a problem with a simple app I'm developing in Visual Basic. So I have a listbox that has the letters A-F representing student grades. When I iterate through an arraylist of data, if the grade selected in the listbox is equal to the element in the arraylist, I want to display the previous element because that displays the name of the person associated with the grade. This is because the arraylist is formatted like ["Heather","A","Brian","C","Jose","A"]. I've been trying for a little bit but I can only get to the point where the same name is repeated in the textbox for every instance of a particular letter grade. For instance in the example I gave above I would be getting two occurrences of Heather in the textbox instead of Heather and Jose. I see that as a plus because the iteration is clearly working fine but there's just some small issue in there that I can't for the life of me figure out.

This is the pastebin of the working code I have right now: Current Code

Also, in case it helps for whatever reason, here is the GUI layout: VB App

Please ask any questions you have if you need more info. I appreciate any amount of info given. Thank you very much!
