Add multiple items to a listbox in VB.NET

Question

How do you add a range of items to a listbox with VB.NET code?

I've come up with the code below, but it doesn't seem to work as "it can't handle the New statement"...

ListBox1.Items.AddRange(New String From {"text", "text2", "text3"})

Can anyone solve this problem?

Try this syntax:

*    ListBox1.Items.AddRange({"text", "text2", "text3"})*

or       

*    ListBox1.Items.AddRange(New String() {"text", "text2", "text3"})*

or

*    ListBox1.DataSource = {"text", "text2", "text3"}*
