Question

I have two listbox in windows Form c#, the first one has all valid rooms at this time & the 2nd has the current rooms reserved to the Guest, & the user can change this data by transfer between this listboxex.

as example:

list1: 1d ,5d ,6d , 1r, 12r

list2: 2d, 4d

the user can delete 2d and put instead of it 6d.

what I need how can I read all data from list2 after user update it, & use this to update my table in sql server.

Answer 1

To copy a selected item from one list box to another you could use the following code. Ensure that the SelectionMode for the listbox is Single. This bit of code reads the selected item, adds it to the other ListBox and removes it from the current ListBox. You do not need to cast it to a string as there is no reason to read the actual data. This also allows you to have complex objects as listBoxItems.

object obj = listBox1.SelectedItem;
listBox2.Items.Add(obj);
listBox1.Items.Remove(obj);

If you link this to left/right buttons, you can ensure that the user is not able to duplicate rooms or add room numbers which are outside the scope.
