Connect listBox1 to accdb (MS Access DB)

[winuser2003]

Hi
Thank you for taking the time to review my issue. I think I have this pretty much setup however I am having trouble connecting my script to the access database I made. I am rather new and I have been looking through YouTube Videos and doing quite a bit of googling. My dev enviroment is Visual Studio 2017 and I do have pretty much everything setup, now its getting everything connected. Let me explain my project.

Project Idea : Build a simple application that will show 300+ applications in a window. When the user opens this application they are presented with all the applications available. The user will be able to highlight what application they would like to install and click the install button. The application begins its installation process.

What have I done so far?
1 Designed the windows form in a very basic manner as shown in the screenshot below



2 I have gone into MS ACCESS 2016 and designed the data tables which is only 1 table containing 3 fields. Field 1 is the only field that should be presented in the application since this is the field with the application names

3 I have connected the DB file to Visual Studio 2017 and ready to present the Field1 to the listBox1 in my application

Below is a screenshot of the concept of the final product of what it SHOULD look like when its done.


4 I have provided a screenshot of the successful DB connection


Help is appreciated on moving forward... Finally my code is below...

The code you've posted is not a native VC++ one. It looks like a managed C++.
So I move it to the corresponding Forum.
