Question

In VB 2008 I created 2 list box. The first list box is to load all the data in my database in a specific row, the other list box is when I double click on the data/item on the first list box the specific data/item need to be transfer to the second list box.

I manage to transfer the data, but the output it gave was wrong. Instead of the actual name of the given data/item the output it gave was System.Data.DataRowView. I tried using .ToString() but nothing happens. I used the drag and drop method for the data adapter connection and the database I’m using is MySQL. I use the “Use data bound items” on list box 1.

You should do it like this,

Private Sub ListBox1_DoubleClick(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) _
                                Handles ListBox1.DoubleClick
    ' checks if the item is empty
    If ListBox1.SelectedItem.ToString.Length <> 0 Then
        ' adds on listbox 2
        ListBox2.Items.Add(ListBox1.Text)
    End If

End Sub
