Set the SelectionMode property to multiple, e.g.

XML
<asp:ListBox SelectionMode="multiple" runat="server" ID="languages">

I tried the code above but it doesn't work with a multiple selection Listbox - e.g each time you set one item as Selected the previous one is unselected. Unless I'm missing something??
