Send data from a listbox to a label on another form

Question

I have a menu where I can add items to a list box using an add button.

I then have a button to send the order so to speak.

The button to send the order I need it to be able to send what is in the list box to a label (or even list box?) on another form.

So far I am only able to write my own text in a text box and then send it to a label on another form, I can't work out how to use what is in the list box to send to that label.

You can do it like this:

In your first form with the listbox

Form2 f = new Form2(listBox1);
f.Show();

In second form with label

public Form2(ListBox listy)
{
    InitializeComponent();

     foreach (var item in listy.Items)
     {
        label1.Text += item.ToString();
     }
 }

Thanks this worked a treat, however when I add to the label it is coming up like 'ItemItemItemItem' where as I need them on seperate lines as it is an order confirmation I am trying to do. – Padgey85 Nov 06 '15 at 13:45
