How do I add a string to an array in visual basic net

I have been looking for the specified code all day long, browsing through the MSDN libraries from microsoft, but I wasn't able to find or come up with a solution:

Question: How can I add a string to an existing array?

I have been trying this

Dim Items() As String
Items = ListBox1.Items.Cast(Of String).ToArray
Array.Reverse(Items)
Me.ListBox1.Items.Clear()
Me.ListBox1.DataSource = Items

**Items.add("Add This to my array")**

But this doesn't work unfortunately.

My code is loading a populated listbox into an array (reverses the entries, and then cleans the listbox before populating it with the array).

How can I add to this array now?

Try this.....

Public Class Form1

Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

    Dim Items As List(Of String)
    Items = ListBox1.Items.Cast(Of String).ToList

    Items.Reverse()

    Items.Add("Add This to my array")

    Me.ListBox1.Items.Clear()
    Me.ListBox1.DataSource = Items
End Sub
End Class

almost identical code (slightly rearranged), using a List instead of an array
