Combine Two ListBoxes And Write a File

Hello,
I'm learning C# and i want to know one thing, how i can combine two ListBoxes and write a file, like this:

For each line of listBox1 we have another for listBox2, when i click in the button1(Save File) it saves a file using a SaveFileDialog and inside the file needs to be like this:

Item1(From ListBox1) Item1(From ListBox2)
Item2(From ListBox1) Item2(From ListBox2)
Item3(From ListBox1) Item3(From ListBox2)
Item4(From ListBox1) Item4(From ListBox2)

Ignore the parentesis, they are just to organize the idea.

Best Regards,
Nathan Paulino Campos

Hi Nathan,

For this format number of items in both listboes should be equal.

Here is the code.

            if(listBox1.Items.Count!=listBox2.Items.Count)
            {
                MessageBox.Show("Listboxes Item Count Should Be Equal");
            }
            using (SaveFileDialog fd = new SaveFileDialog())
            {
                fd.ShowDialog();
                if (fd.FileName != null)
                {
                    StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(fd.FileName);
                    for (int i = 0; i < listBox1.Items.Count; i++)
                    {
                        sw.WriteLine(listBox1.Items[i].ToString() + " " + listBox2.Items[i].ToString());//You can use string builder here
                    }
                    sw.Close();
                    sw.Dispose();
                }
            }
