So for this article first you create a new windows application and add two listbox control and two button control to transfer the records.

So for making multiple selections possible you have to just set the listbox control property as shown below.

Here is the code to transfer the item from one listbox to another listbox. In this we have written code on button1 and button 2 click.

C#.Net

using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Data; using System.Drawing; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Windows.Forms; using System.Collections; namespace ProjectDemo_Windows {     public partial class Form1 : Form     {         public Form1()         {             InitializeComponent();         }         private void btnright_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)         {             foreach (var item in new ArrayList(listBox1.SelectedItems))             {                 listBox1.Items.Remove(item);                 listBox2.Items.Add(item);             }         }         private void btnleft_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)         {             foreach (var item in new ArrayList(listBox2.SelectedItems))             {                 listBox2.Items.Remove(item);                 listBox1.Items.Add(item);             }         }     } }

VB.Net

Imports System.Collections.Generic Imports System.ComponentModel Imports System.Data Imports System.Drawing Imports System.Linq Imports System.Text Imports System.Windows.Forms Imports System.Collections Namespace ProjectDemo_Windows     Partial Public Class Form1         Inherits Form         Public Sub New()             InitializeComponent()         End Sub         Private Sub btnright_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)             For Each item As var In New ArrayList(listBox1.SelectedItems)                 listBox1.Items.Remove(item)                 listBox2.Items.Add(item)             Next         End Sub         Private Sub btnleft_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)             For Each item As var In New ArrayList(listBox2.SelectedItems)                 listBox2.Items.Remove(item)                 listBox1.Items.Add(item)             Next         End Sub     End Class End Namespace

In above code we have applied loop to check which item in selected and if it’s selected on that case we are removing item from listbox1 and adding it to listbox2.

So here is the final output:
