I have a program that so far downloads an XML file, parses it, stores it in an ArrayList and then reads the ArrayList to add items to a Checked List Box, which is on a different form from where the ArrayLists are made and stored as public class variables.

After I construct the ArrayLists I used the following bit of

VB.NET:
testForm.testList.Items.Add("Test String", True)

The code runs properly and can be accessed again using
VB.NET:
testForm.testList.Items(<index>)

When I hide the current form and show "testForm" (the form holding the Checked List Box) none of the items I've added show up. Any ideas?

Another note, all this code about downloading XML, parsing it, and adding items into a checked list box is done inside a background worker. I'm not sure if that will make a different.
 
I fixed the problem. I was trying to add items to a form from a background worker. I added the statement to the report progress function of the background worker and it worked great!
