I have 2 ListBoxes.  ListBox1 is populated with 5 selected numbers from a CheckedListBox(LotteryBox) and ListBox2 is populated with random numbers 1-99.  I want to find a way to verify if the numbers in the two ListBoxes match.  For Example, if they matched one number.  It'll say "You've matched one number".  and so on.  I think I'm on the right path with:



But how do I differentiate between the five numbers selected in the LotteryBox?

Can you make the selected items in each of the boxes into a collection and do anything like this on it? That will avoid your having to iterate the box 5×.

I tried to create a collection, as suggested.  I received an error stating that Unable to cast object of type 'System.Int32' to type 'System.Windows.Forms.Control'
