    Hi, I have two listboxes, first listbox is populating the data from the database and then with the help of move button ,i am moving the selscted items from listbox 1 to listbox2 but, I am not able to find any property to he data in listbox2. I want to save them to a table "A_Software" to column "soft". I used the following code. But data it is getting stored is "System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListItemCollection" Protected Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click Dim str As String str = "insert into a_software (soft)values('" & ListBox2.Items.ToString() & "')" Dim comm As New SqlCommand(str, dbconn) If dbconn.State <> ConnectionState.Open Then dbconn.Open() End If Try comm.ExecuteNonQuery() Label1.ForeColor = Drawing.Color.Green Label1.Text = "Success" Catch ex As Exception Label1.Text = ex.Message End Try End Sub

      You are getting an error because the ListBox2.Items.ToString() function just returns the text System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListItemCollection - because that is what you are referencing....it's just a collection. You would need to loop through each of the ListItems and get out the text value of each and run that as a seperate insert...i.e. foreach(ListItem item in ListBox2.Items){ str = "insert into a_software (soft)values('" & item.Text & "')" //then run the insert } that would be a way to do it using your current code, or build up a collection of inserts and run them all at once (not sure if you can do that with ExecuteNonQuery() though) - running everything at once would definitely be the better option.

        In VB.NET --------- For Each item As ListItem In ListBox2.Items 'then run the insert str = "insert into a_software (soft)values('" And item.Text And "')" Next You can convert C# code to VB.NET at: http://www.developerfusion.co.uk/utilities/convertcsharptovb.aspx[^]

                    How is it possible, use comm.executenonquey() before declaring comm? I get the following message near the word str i.e Dim comm As New SqlCommand(str, dbconn) var 'str' is used before it has been assigned a value. A null reference exception could result at runtime
