The type or namespace name 'ListItem' could not be found (are you
missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

What is the line of code that gives the error?

I am only familiar with a ListItem in an ASP.Net app. You really are
using it in a windows forms app?

Another ListItem seems to be on System.Windows.Documents, i.e. a WPF
class. The name ListItem sounds like a property to me. Could you show
some code where it is used?

System.Windows.Forms has a ListViewItem class, but not a ListItem class. The
list box's Items collection (a ListBox.ObjectCollection instance) holds
objects, not a strongly-typed class.

Like the other posters have said, it looks like you're mixing up a couple of
different project types. A standard "WinForms project" will not have a
ListItem class.
