If you're wanting to center text in the ListBox then you'll need to decide in advance the maximum number of characters that will fit in a single line for the font you're using. Also I'd use a fixed width font (such as Consolas or Lucida Console) otherwise you'll find that the text will be all over the place. Anyway try this code: int maxChars = 40; // let's say List addressDetailItem = new List (); var RetriveAddress = Retrieve(id); foreach (var result in RetriveAddress) { string title = Details.GetAddressAsString(result  ); string[] split = title.Split(''); foreach(string line in split) { AddressDetailItem item = new AddressDetailItem(); item.Detail = result; int spaces = (maxChars - line.Length)/2; if (spaces item.Title = new string(' ' spaces) + line; addressDetailItem.Add(item); } } if (addressDetailItem.Count > 0) { lstAddressResult.DataSource = addressDetailItem; lstAddressResult.DisplayMember = Title; lstAddressResult.ValueMember = Detail; }

Hi you can split the string and add in the array and bind the array to listItem. ex. string value=AAABBBBCCCCDDDD string[] abc = value.split(''); if (abc != null) { lstAddressResult.DataSource = abc ; lstAddressResult.DisplayMember = Title; lstAddressResult.ValueMember = Detail; lstAddressResult.databind(); }
