This will get you going in the right direction as for the objects involved to do what you want to do:

private void PopulateListBox(ListBox lsb, string Folder, string FileType)
{
    DirectoryInfo dinfo = new DirectoryInfo(Folder);
    FileInfo[] Files = dinfo.GetFiles(FileType);
    foreach (FileInfo file in Files)
    {
        lsb.Items.Add(file.Name);
    }
}

Usage:

PopulateListBox(listbox1, @"C:\Files", "*.pdf");
PopulateListBox(listbox2, @"C:\Files", "*.doc");
