Hello, all - first posting. I'm not sure if I am approaching this the right way or if it's even possible. I'm using Visual Web Developer 2008, VB.

What I want to do is select a DataList item and have it display on a different part of the page, maybe in a ListBox or another DataList - whatever can display the selected data. That selected item should also be able to be removed from said ListBox or other DataList. Any number of items can be added or removed from the list.

The gist of the project I'm working on is to let web visitors select a category of items to view (in this example, a list of therapists) and then click on a therapist returned in a DataList to add that therapist to their preference list (which would be the ListBox). This is the part I am unsure of how to do.

I also need to know how to do this from a FormView as well, but am willing to start with the DataList. Again, I am not in love with the DataList, so if a Gridview (or even a ListBox) would work better, that's fine.

I AM STUCK. I would definitely appreciate any discussion or advice.

Thank you!

John
