Two things: First, the issue is probably with the shopping cart list because each item you are passing to it is selected. Given that this is probably only a reference to a control, changing it to be not selected might affect both lists. To get around this, I would try the following:
dim newItem as new ListItem(lstProducts.SelectedItem.Text, lstProducts.SelectedItem.Value) lstCart.Items.Add(newItem) Second, I would recommend that if you plan on using this in an actual site, you consider client side code to do the moving of items between lists. It will take a lot of round trips for someone to fill up your list the way you are doing it.

Shouldn't have to walk the entire Collection. -----Original Message----- From: Matt Milner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 29, 2002 3:51 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [DOTNET] ListBox error in ASP.NET Either disable view state for the control or walk the collection of items and set "selected" to false for all but the one you want. The control is holding on to the selected setting from the last post and then you are probably setting another item to be selected. HTH, Matt Matt Milner BORN [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Burton To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 5/29/02 5:05 PM Subject: [DOTNET] ListBox error in ASP.NET I have a ListBox that I only want to have a single item selected at a time and when that item is selected I want it to be copied into another ListBox (this is an example in ASP.NET Unleashed p. 224 and 225). The first selection works just fine but the second selection gives me the following error. It seems that the error is getting thrown before the first selected item is unselected.
