Hi y0yie
To populate in listbox refer to the sample below:
lstboxName.DataSource = 'Here comes the datasource(dataset or any) you assign to the listbox.
lstboxName.DataValueField = "" 'Assign the column value that will be passed on selection.
lstboxName.DataTextField = "" 'Assign the column text that will be displayed in the listbox.
lstboxName.DataBind()
For fetching the selected items and passing to query refer to the sample below:
Dim selectedItem As String
If lstboxName.Items.Count > 0 Then
For i = 0 To lstboxName.Items.Count - 1
If lstboxName.Items(i).Selected Then
selectedItem = selectedItem + lstboxName.Items(i).Value.Trim() & ","
End If
Next
End If
Dim selectedItemSplit As String() = selectedItem.ToString().Split(",")
Now pass the selectedItemSplit value either by as array or even you can pass with comma seperated as contained in selectedItem and pass to the select query and then populate it to the second listbox based on the selected value(s) in the first listbox.
Hope this helps!!!
