Question

I try to migrate my iphone app to wp7.
On ios, UITableview is well designed, and very easy to code.
I have the some book about wp7, but there are no detail concerned about moving and removing of a row of listbox.

Welcome any comment

I’d like to think that Windows Phone is also well designed. 🙂

To simply remove an item from a ListBox in your codebehind, you need to get a reference to the ListItem that you want to remove. For example, to remove the currently selected item:

var myListItem = myListBox.SelectedItem;

Then you can remove it with:

myListBox.Items.Remove(myListItem);

In order to address your question about moving items, we’d need to know more about how you’re populating the ListBox. Are you using databinding, or adding items with myListBox.Items.Add(myListItem)?

If I needed to move items between two lists, I would create a public List<MyItem> property for each list and databind each list to its own ListBox. Then I might do something like this (working from memory here):

var itemToMove = myList1.Remove(myListBox1.SelectedItem);
myList2.Add(itemToMove);
myListBox1.DataBind();
myListBox2.DataBind();

There’s a much better way to do this, using INotifiyPropertyChanged, but I suspect you need to play around with the basics for a while to get comfortable in C#.

Bonus tip: Windows Phone is very similar to Silverlight, and you can usually find more information if you search for Silverlight examples.
