Remove multiple Items or rows from listbox VB.NET

I want to delete Multiple rows of listbox, I tried this

For teller = 0 To 170 Step 1

        ListBox1.Items.Remove(teller)

    Next

But that doesn't work. How do I delete the first 170 rows in my listbox? :)

Try this

Dim count as Integer

count = ListBox1.Items.Count ''Or 170

For teller = 1 To count Step 1

        ListBox1.Items.RemoveAt(0)

    Next

EDIT As minitech stated it is always a good idea to remove the first item if you want to clear out a list or grid or any other collection of the first X items.

The problem is that as you remove items, your list becomes shorter, so you will run out of items. So, just remove the first record on each pass:

Updated to reflect minitech's comments

For teller = 0 To 169
   ListBox1.Items.RemoveAt(0)
Next

Since removing an item from a list shifts the rest of them up, simply remove the first item multiple times:

For i As Integer = 1 To 170
    Me.ListBox1.Items.RemoveAt(0)
Next

You were also using Remove instead of RemoveAt, which removes an item by reference, not by index.
