unable to retrieve listbox items on postback , items moved usingjavascript between 2 list boxes (source and target )

Hello,

I used the below code to move selected items between two listboxes
Left and Right:-

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup ="true"
CodeFile="TestP opup.aspx.cs" Inherits="TestP opup" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head runat="server">
<title>Untitl ed Page</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
/*
- Function MoveItems()
- Direction: Specifies direction i.e. L = Left, R = Right
- All: Move All items 1 = All, 0 = Selected
*/
function MoveItems(Direc tion, All)
{
var LstLeft;
var LstRight;
var Removed = '';
var i;

if (Direction == 'R')
{
var LstLeft = document.getEle mentById("<
%=LstLeft.Clien tID %>");
var LstRight = document.getEle mentById("<
%=LstRight.Clie ntID %>");
}
else
{
var LstLeft = document.getEle mentById("<
%=LstRight.Clie ntID %>");
var LstRight = document.getEle mentById("<
%=LstLeft.Clien tID %>");
}

for (i=0; i<LstLeft.lengt h; i++)
{
if (LstLeft.option s[i].selected || All == 1)
if(ItemExists(L stRight, LstLeft.options[i].value)
== 0)
{
LstRight[LstRight.length] = new
Option(LstLeft. options[i].text, LstLeft.options[i].value, true);
Removed = Removed + LstLeft.options[i].value +
',';
}
}
RemoveFromList( LstLeft, Removed);
return false;
}

function RemoveFromList (Lst, Items)
{
var Removed = Items.split(',' );
var j;
var x;
for (j=0; j<Removed.lengt h; j++)
{
for (x=0; x<Lst.length; x++)
{
if (Lst.options[x] != null && Lst.options[x].value
== Removed[j])
{
Lst.options[x] = null;
}
}
}
}

function ItemExists(Lst, value)
{
var Flag = 0;
var i = 0;
for (i=0; i<Lst.length; i++)
{
if (Lst.options[i].value == value)
{
Flag = 1;
break;
}
}
return Flag;
}

Problem:-

I am unable to retrieve the items of the listbox on postback which are
filled using the javascipt code as shown above.
I am able to retrieve all the other fields values on postback , but
these two listboxes don't show the updated count and items list.The
rightbox items count on postback is zero though the items are moved
into it from the left listbox.
I am using EnableEventVali dation="false" .

Please help me with how to retrieve the updated listbox items on
postback.

Thanks ,
Divya

Hi divya.

I am not sure about what went wrong. please try the bellow
technique...

Please use a hidden input field in your page, while moving the items
in right listbox in javascript
save the itemvalues in a comma or semicolon separated way in the
hidden field.
After postback, In "Page_load" event check the hidden input's value,
and modify both list box ....

Best of luck

I have a listbox of values that I populate from a database. I want the user to be able to re-order the list (by first selecting an item and then clicking 'up' or 'down' buttons) and then save the list back to the database. First of all, I implemented the re-ordering through client-side javascript, which worked great (also it didn't require a postback every time an item was re-ordered). For testing purposes, I'm outputting the contents...

Hello all, I have an ASP.NET page I've written using VS.NET2003, which have a ListBox in it. When I press a button in the form, I try to get the selected item in the list by calling ListBox.SelectedItem. And it returns null, even when I select an item. Even when I try to read the value when I get the SelectedIndexChanged event, it still doesn't give me the correct answer.
