it's not hard, but you need to understand that listboxes themselves do not contain data. I did this once for someone else here but I cannot find the project now

The basics were:

Both listboxes bind to a datatable what has a column "ShowInListbox" and a value of 1, or 2. Both listboxes bind through a different bindingsource and the .filter property of each bindsource is set such that listbox1's BS has filter = "[ShowInListbox] = 1" and listbox2 has a filter of 2, respectively

Now to "Move" data between each listbox, you simply set the value of "ShowInCOlumn" to be 1 or 2 respectively

A bit different to yours becaus eit uses quantities, but it's a great example that you can cripple to your requirements
