Binding Listbox value and Text in c# in aspx

I have a ListBox and want to bind value and text to it.

The Value and Text are taken from query string and they are comma separated.

My code goes as follows:

var pIDs = Request.QueryString["pIds"];
var pIDsText = Request.QueryString["pText"];
var SeparatedIds = pIDs.Split(',').Distinct().ToArray();
var SeparatedPIdsText = pIDsText.Split(',').Distinct().ToArray();

System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListBox ls = (System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListBox)User_Control_ListBox1.FindControl("lstShowPrograms");

 for (int i = 0; i < SeparatedPIdsText.Length; i++)
 {
      if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(SeparatedPIdsText[i])) 
          {

                ls.Items.Add(SeparatedPIdsText[i]);
          }

 }

The above code is adding only text.I want to set both value and text. Text to display and value(ID) for background.

Add ListItem to the ls.Items instead of string

ls.Items.Add(new ListItem(SeparatedPIdsText[i], SeparatedIds[i]));

Just make sure SeparatedIds and SeparatedPIdsText have the same length or there will be IndexOutOfRangeException
