i want to take TextBox1's text and put it in one of the columns in the ListView. for example. ListView has 2 columns saying usernames and realnames, and TextBox1 is the usernames and TextBox2 is the realnames. So i want to take each line in TextBox1 to match up with the RealNames(TextBox2) all in ListView.

Dim Q As New ListViewItem

Try this (To listview1 put your listview name)

Dim i As Integer = 0
For Each l In TextBox1.Lines
ListView1.Items.Add(l)
ListView1.Items(ListView1.Items.Count - 1).SubItems.Add(TextBox2.Lines(i))
i += 1
Next
i = 0

While the straightforward answer to your question is rather simple, your posted question raises issues. You are using Listbox and Listview interchangeably, yet they are two different controls. Moreover you seem to suggest your Textbox holds multiple values where the intention of a Textbox is to hold one distinct value or string of text.

As these controls are Windows Forms controls, your use of "Dim Q As New ListviewItem" may not be neccessary.

I would suggest reading up more on the controls you want to use, how they are used and in what context.

The simple straightforward answer to your question could be:

listBox1.Items.Add(textBox1.Text)

Im sorry that u still do not under stand what i wanted to say, and no "YOUR STRAIGHT FOWERED Answer" did not help me. im also very sorry i wrote listbox ones in the begin of the text. Im Also VERy sorry that u dont understand that i didnt try to say that the text boxs have more values but to tell u that its on different lines. i wanted to take both of the text boxs and take the LINES of text and put them in different Columns IN the LISTVIEW. so there would have to be a code that separates the lines of text and adds the line of text as a row for the List view. – Zeltron playz Jul 2 '16 at 2:47

@Zeltronplayz : If you want to separate text, use String.Split(). – Visual Vincent Jul 2 '16 at 11:48

I'm assuming your user names are stored in TextBox1 and your real names are stored in TextBox2

Public Sub AddListViewItemsFromTextboxes()

Dim Host As String = "SomeHost" 'you mentioned a host in the code snippet in your question, not sure where this comes from

Dim TextBox1String As String = TextBox1.Text
Dim TextBox2String As String = TextBox2.Text

Dim TextBox1Lines() As String = TextBox1String.Split(vbNewLine)
Dim TextBox2Lines() As String = TextBox2String.Split(vbNewLine)

If(TextBox1Lines.Count <> TextBox2Lines.Count)
'possible error handling here
MsgBox("Each user must have both a real name and a username.")
Exit Sub
End If

For NameIndex As Integer = 0 to (TextBox1Lines.Count - 1)
Dim UserName As String = TextBox1Lines(NameIndex)
Dim RealName As String = TextBox2Lines(NameIndex)

Dim Item As New ListViewItem
Item.Text = Host

Dim UserNameSubItem As New ListViewitem.ListViewSubItem
UserNameSubItem.Text = UserName

Item.SubItems.Add(UserNameSubItem)

Dim RealNameSubItem As New ListViewItem.ListViewSubItem
RealNameSubItem.Text = RealName

Item.SubItems.Add(RealNameSubItem)

ListView1.Items.Add(Item)

Next

End Sub

I'm not really sure if you want to display 2 columns of data or 3 columns in your listview, if you want 2 columns look at the previous version of my answer – jrh Jul 3 '16 at 23:50
