listbox woes

hey all,

i have a listbox on my .aspx page and when i highlight an item in the
listbox should i just be able to loop thru the items collection of the
listbox and delete what is selected? it's not letting me do that for some
reason i keep getting an error saying:
Collection was modified; enumeration operation may not execute.

what's the best way to do the delete?

thanks,

You can't delete items from the collection that you are looping through.
Get the collection of selected items and use the ToArray method to get
them in an array. Loop through the array and remove each item from the
collection.

Ok - I have a ListBox control and I'm ready to write my own DrawItem event handler. What I want to draw as the item is another control. I have created a user control that I would like to list in this listbox but I can't for the life of me figure out how to draw the control inside ListBox... I get as far as: private void lbImageList_DrawItem(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.DrawItemEventArgs e)

I am populating a multiselect Listbox from a dataset, with the content of the listbox filled by one table, and the selections determined from another table. So far, I have been keeping the dataset a denormalized mirror of the database, but I'm not having much luck getting the selection logic down (I haven't found a 'hook' where I can access the listbox object as an object to set the listitem's selected property before it gets rendered).. ...

Hi all, After unsuccessfully trying to make my own dual listbox control out of arraylists, I decided to look for a 3rd party control. I've looked for over a week now and can't find anything but ASP.Net stuff when I need a Windows Form control. I've seen dual listbox populators in countless Windows applications, and have seen them run very fast, so I figured this would be extremely popular. Here's how it should work:
