You can use COM API AcadPreferencesFiles.PrinterStyleSheetPath to get the folder path where *.ctb files are located.

If you use .NET 4, you can use dynamic without having to add reference to AutoCAD COM API interop:

C# code would be like:

dynamic cadPreferences=Application.Preference;

string folder=cadPreferences.PrinterStyleSheetPath;

string[] ctbFiles=System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(folder, "*.ctb");

Then you can use the file name array to populate listbox.
