A list box will automatically add a scroll Bar when the list becomes longer than the length of the list box.

However, you can place a scroll bar on the list box at the design time by setting the ScrollAlwaysVisible property to true.

I must guess that by 'has 2 sides', you mean a split screen.

You must indicate what you are placing the people's data into.

The best I can determine is you must do the following;

1 Store the peoples information in a text file.

2. Place the text file lines in an array by using the File.ReadAllLines method., when you click on a person's name in the list box

3. Iterate this array of lines, and create another array of each line with the Str.Split method, using a white space for a delimiter. The person's name should be the first item in the text file. As such, you would look at the first array element of the Str.Split array for a match of the name clicked in the list box.

4. When a match for the selected name is found, display the person's data in the 'other side' of the form.
