try this : string [] myListItemArray = new string [listBox1.Items.Count]; listBox1.Items.CopyTo(myListItemArray, 0); listBox2.Items.AddRange(myListItemArray);

Diya, Drishty and Jaish: Thanks. I knew of the 'for' way of doing it. I thought that maybe there was a way to just move it. I am learning, so I decided to use the sample from Drishty. Thanks to all.

Hi, Here's a method using for each foreach (object obj in listBox1.Items) { listBox2.Items.Add(obj); } listBox1.Items.Clear();

try this: private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { for (int i = 0; i { listBox2.Items.Add(listBox1.Items[i]); } listBox1.Items.Clear(); }

Jaish: I usually try to figure it out for 2 hours by myself. I read some documents and surf the net to find the solution. After 2 hours, if I cant find it, then I post. I have learned so much stuff that you can not find in a book. I have been working on my project for around 4 months. I am hoping by the end of the month I get done with the basics. Then I might spend a month or more, going thru the Forms and Classes and document all the routines. Write now I am writing a generic Validation routine that is controlled by a table. It pretty cool. I am sure an expert will see flaws in my code...LOL.
