vb.net - populate one listbox from another

[lolly]

Hi all just wondering if any one has any idea on the following...

I have two listboxes -

one listbox populated from a database
ListBox1.Items.Add(dr("NAME"))
and the user can collect multiple items.

The next listbox is populated from the selected items from Listbox1.

I'm having trouble populating the Listbox2. Setting the datasource to
Listbox1.SelectedItems works but I want the user to have an option to
clear the Listbox2 -
ListBox1.ClearSelected()
ListBox2.Items.Clear()

But you cannot use this when the Datasource is set.

I have tried this: ListBox2.Items.Add(ListBox1.SelectedItems)

But it doesnt work!!

Thanks!!

Try cycling through them and adding them.

For i As Integer = 0 to ListBox1.SelectedIndeces.Count - 1
ListBox2.Items.Add(FieldListBox.SelectedIndeces(i) )
Next i
