hi there,

I have to list boxes and in one list box there is all the names of the employees, there is two buttons which represent the arrows to sending the selected item from list box to another, how can I get the values in on list box to a text box separated by a comma, how can I solve this,

thanxxx

You are binding listbox with comma seperated list. instead of this just create a class which will have Key, Value property. prepare List<Object of class> and bind it with listbox and set DisplayMember and ValueMember as per your requirement.

When you select item(s) from one listbox and move those to another listbox just add clone of selected item' object(here object is the object of class you have created for binding).

hey no no,

when i select one item in the first list box and press the button it should remove from the current list box and go to the second list box, how can i do this, and vise versa??

thanxx

adding in my previous answer, When you select item from one listbox and move to another listbox just add clone of selected item'object to another listbox and remove from first listbox.

alternate, instead of adding, you need to bind same list of employees to both listbox. here you need to first time hide all items of destination listbox. while you move item from source listbox just hide this item and set visibility of same item in destination listbox. and you can use visible items from destination listbox for further operation.
