The listitem from asp.net is pretty handy - you can store a "value" and a "text" property in it, and bind it to a listbox etc. Unfortunately, I haven't found something in winforms that does the same. Am I missing something? How to replicate the same behaviour in winforms?

Use DisplayMember/ValueMember appropriately.

The ListBox.Items collection stores objects. All you have to do is override the ToString() method of the class whose objects you add to the box.
