You are getting an index, not an item. To remove by index, use ContactConflictListBox.Items.Remove(ContactConflictListBox.Items[iSelectedItem]); or ContactConflictListBox.Items.RemoveAt(iSelectedItem);. Be aware, that the RemoveAt method shouldn't be used in code, it's just there for infrastructural reasons.

ListBox.ObjectCollection.Remove takes the object you want to remove as argument. You have to either call ListBox.ObjectCollection.RemoveAt (which is, unfortunately, documented as infrastructure-only), or pass the object to ListBox.ObjectCollection.Remove:

ContactConflictListBox.Items.Remove(ContactConflictListBox.Items[iSelectedItem]);

(or, in case the index is not relevant:)

ContactConflictListBox.Items.Remove(ContactConflictListBox.SelectedItem);
