Transfer data between two ASP.NET ListBox controls
This article shows how to transfer data between two ASP.NET ListBox controls.
Introduction
This article essentially shows how to transfer data between two ASP.NET ListBox controls. I realize this may seem rather simple, but oh well.
I think the code below is pretty much self explanatory.
Default.aspx.cx
public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page {
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
if(!IsPostBack)
BindData();
}
protected void MoveRight(object sender, EventArgs e) {
while(uxListBox1.Items.Count > 0 && uxListBox1.SelectedItem != null) {
ListItem selectedItem = uxListBox1.SelectedItem;
selectedItem.Selected = false;
uxListBox2.Items.Add(selectedItem);
uxListBox1.Items.Remove(selectedItem);
}
}
protected void MoveLeft(object sender, EventArgs e) {
while(uxListBox2.Items.Count > 0 && uxListBox2.SelectedItem != null) {
ListItem selectedItem = uxListBox2.SelectedItem;
selectedItem.Selected = false;
uxListBox1.Items.Add(selectedItem);
uxListBox2.Items.Remove(selectedItem);
}
}
private void BindData() {
uxListBox1.Items.Add(new ListItem("test1", "test1"));
uxListBox1.Items.Add(new ListItem("test2", "test2"));
uxListBox1.Items.Add(new ListItem("test3", "test3"));
}
}
