Retrieve items from a List 
Dim aList as New List(Of String)
aList.Add("Hello, World")
aList.Add("Test")

Dim output As String = aList(0)

output:

Hello, World

If you do not know the index of the item or only know part of the string then use the Find or FindAll method

Dim aList as New List(Of String)
aList.Add("Hello, World")
aList.Add("Test")

Dim output As String = aList.Find(Function(x) x.StartWith("Hello"))

output:

Hello, World

The FindAll method returns a new List (of String)

Dim aList as New List(Of String)
aList.Add("Hello, Test")
aList.Add("Hello, World")
aList.Add("Test")

Dim output As String = aList.FindAll(Function(x) x.Contains("Test"))

output(0) = "Hello, Test"

output(1) = "Test"
