Rearrange UI To rearrange an array

2 New Member
Hello everyone,

I'm creating a program for a courier service that takes info from a database to make a 2d array with the necessary info, then puts that on to an excel spreadsheet per delivery.

I have already finished coding that part and it works like a charm. What I would like to do is to have the user be able to rearrange the items on the screen in the program window and then have that order rearrange the 2d array.

How can I put some info on the screen and have the user rearrange it in the order that they want, and then get the order that they put it in?

It sounds like you could create 2 list boxes. One listbox could contain all of your items and the second listbox could be used so that the user could move items from ListBox1 to ListBox2 in any order that they want. Give this a try and let us know if this will work for you.

What I ended up doing is creating a listbox, and a move up and move down button. When the person clicks the move up button it inserts the item higher up in the list, and changes the array at the same time. It works great, so thank you.

I'm currently writing a photo album sotware in C#. I'm using a ListView component to diaplay thumbnail previews of the photos and want to give the user the possibility to rearrange the photos via a drag&drop operation. The problem is that it only appears to be possible to rearrange items in a ListView if its view property is not set to View.LargeIcons (which is the one I need to diaplay the thumbs). If I rearrage the items without changing...

is there a way to have a re-arrangeable list with an asp.net control ? I would like to have a list of database table column values in an ordered list initially loaded by their column order in the table HOWEVER have the ability to use an arrow or some mechanism to rearrange the order of the columns so that when a report is created, the columns will be in that new order.
