How to compare the items of two list-boxes and copy the unique items to new list-box

I have three list boxes. The left and the middle list-box have some items. I want to compare the items in the left and middle list-box. I want to move the unique items to right side list-box from middle list-box and I want an expression handle.
I tried do it with the code underneath.
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
List<string> FileNames = null;
private void Btn_FileFolder_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
using (FolderBrowserDialog FBDfolder = new FolderBrowserDialog())
{
if (FBDfolder.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
lbl_FolderPath.Text = FBDfolder.SelectedPath;
FileNames = Directory.GetFiles(FBDfolder.SelectedPath).ToList();
lstbx_filefolder.DataSource = FileNames.Select(f => Path.GetFileName(f)).ToList();
lbl_NoOfFolderItems.Text = lstbx_filefolder.Items.Count.ToString();
}
}
}
private void Btn_TextFile_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
OpenFileDialog textfile = new OpenFileDialog {
Filter = "text (*.txt)|*.txt"
};
if (textfile.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
lbl_filepath.Text = textfile.FileName;
string[] lines = File.ReadAllLines(lbl_filepath.Text);
lstbx_textfile.Items.AddRange(lines);
lbl_NoOfItems.Text = lstbx_textfile.Items.Count.ToString();
}
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
private void btn_RemoveDuplicates_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var listboxfile = lstbx_filefolder.Items;
var listboxtext = lstbx_textfile.Items;
foreach (var itm in listboxfile)
{
if (listboxtext.Contains(itm)) listboxtext.Remove(itm);
}
}
private void btn_clear_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
lstbx_filefolder.DataSource = null;
//lstbx_filefolder.Items.Clear();
lstbx_textfile.DataSource = null;
lstbx_textfile.Items.Clear();
}
}
}

When working with collections you could in many cases use Linq for these taks.
The first step in solving your problem would be to combine the lists into a single list
The next step would be to use Linq to get the unique string values from the list, this while assigning the result of the Linq query to a new List.
By using Distinct() the duplicate items are removed. Resulting in something like this:
private void btn_RemoveDuplicates_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var itemCollection = new List<string>();
itemCollection.AddRange(lstbx_filefolder.Items);
itemCollection.AddRange(lstbx_textfile.Items);
var uniqueCollection = itemCollection.Distinct().ToList();
// todo assign the values in the uniqueCollection to the source of the right listbox.
`rightListBox`.Datasource = uniqueCollection;
}

Promblemas to send to call my method to a button

I am learning to program in C # so my question is how to call the method from the button3
Look for information on the web but it is not very clear to me why I turn to this site
private void button3_Click_1(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
private void export2File(ListView lv, string splitter)
{
string filename = "";
SaveFileDialog sfd = new SaveFileDialog();
sfd.Title = "SaveFileDialog Export2File";
sfd.Filter = "Text File (.txt) | *.txt";
if (sfd.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
filename = sfd.FileName.ToString();
if (filename != "")
{
using (StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(filename))
{
foreach (ListViewItem item in lv.Items)
{
sw.WriteLine("{0}{1}{2}", item.SubItems[0].Text, splitter, item.SubItems[1].Text);
}
}
}
}
}

private void button3_Click_1(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ListView listView1 = new ListView();
string splitter = ",";
export2File(listview1, splitter);
}

You need to pass a reference to the ListView on your Form, and the desired "splitter" into the method. Assuming listView1 and a comma:
private void button3_Click_1(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
export2File(listView1, ",");
}

I have a query about checked list boxes in c#

I have set up a program that so far can browse for the location of a file that possesses data in a text file holding the locations of other files which then shows me if they exist, are missing or are a duplicate inside listboxes. The next step is to enable the user to select files in the checked list boxes and being given the option to either move or copy. I have already made buttons which allow this but I want to be able to use them for the checked boxes I the list boxes.(p.s) please ignore any comments I have made in the code they are just previous attempts of doing other things in the code.
My code so far:
namespace File_existence
{
public partial class fileForm : Form
{
private string _filelistlocation;
public fileForm()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void checkedListBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
public void fileForm_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
_filelistlocation = textBox1.Text;
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
//GetDuplicates();
checkedListBox1.Items.Clear();
listBox2.Items.Clear();
ReadFromList();
}
private void GetDuplicates()
{
DirectoryInfo directoryToCheck = new DirectoryInfo(#"C:\\temp");
FileInfo[] files = directoryToCheck.GetFiles("*.*", SearchOption.AllDirectories);
var duplicates = files.GroupBy(x => x.Name)
.Where(group => group.Count() > 1)
.Select(group => group.Key);
if (duplicates.Count() > 0)
{
MessageBox.Show("The file exists");
FileStream s2 = new FileStream(_filelistlocation, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read);
// open _filelistlocation
// foreach line in _filelistlocation
// concatenate pat hand filename
//
}
}
public void ReadFromList()
{
int lineCounter = 0;
int badlineCounter = 0;
using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(_filelistlocation))
{
String line;
while ((line = sr.ReadLine()) != null)
{
string[] values = line.Split('\t');
if (values.Length == 2)
{
string fullpath = string.Concat(values[1], "\\", values[0]);
if (File.Exists(fullpath))
checkedListBox1.Items.Add(fullpath);
else
listBox2.Items.Add(fullpath);
++lineCounter;
}
else
++badlineCounter;
//Console.WriteLine(line);
}
}
}
//StreamReader files= new StreamReader(File)();
private void listBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
}
private void button2_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
FolderBrowserDialog folderBrowserDlg = new FolderBrowserDialog();
folderBrowserDlg.ShowNewFolderButton = true;
DialogResult dlgResult = folderBrowserDlg.ShowDialog();
if (dlgResult.Equals(DialogResult.OK))
{
textBox1.Text = folderBrowserDlg.SelectedPath;
Environment.SpecialFolder rootFolder = folderBrowserDlg.RootFolder;
}
try
{
string fileName = "filetest1.txt";
string sourcePath = #"C:\Temp\Trade files\removed";
string targetPath = #"C:\Temp\Trade files\queued";
string sourceFile = System.IO.Path.Combine(sourcePath, fileName);
string destFile = System.IO.Path.Combine(targetPath,fileName);
System.IO.File.Copy(sourceFile, destFile, true);
}
catch (IOException exc)
{
MessageBox.Show(exc.Message);
}
}
private void button3_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
try
{
string sourceFile = #"C:\Temp\Trade Files\queued\filetest1.txt";
string destinationFile = #"C:\Temp\Trade Files\processed\filetest1.txt";
System.IO.File.Move(sourceFile, destinationFile);
}
catch(IOException ex){
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);//"File not found"
}
}
private void button4_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
OpenFileDialog fileBrowserDlg = new OpenFileDialog();
//folderBrowserDlg.ShowNewFolderButton = true;
//folderBrowserDlg.SelectedPath = _filelistlocation;
fileBrowserDlg.FileName = textBox1.Text;
DialogResult dlgResult = fileBrowserDlg.ShowDialog();
if (dlgResult.Equals(DialogResult.OK))
{
textBox1.Text = fileBrowserDlg.FileName;
File_existence.Properties.Settings.Default.Save();
// Environment.SpecialFolder rootFolder = folderBrowserDlg.RootFolder;
}
}
private void button5_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
if (!textBox1.Text.Equals(String.Empty))
{
if (System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(textBox1.Text).Length > 0)
{
foreach (string file in System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(textBox1.Text))
{
checkedListBox1.Items.Add(file);
}
}
else
{
checkedListBox1.Items.Add(String.Format("No file found: {0}", textBox1.Text));
}
}
}
}
}
The task I need to do is that the files that appear in the checked list box need to usually be moved or copied to another directory. That is fine as I can already do that with what I have coded, but what it does is it will move or copy all of the files in the checked list box. What I want to do is enable the user to only be able to select which files they what to move or copy through checking the checked list box so that only those files will be moved or copied.
EDIT: Could it be checkedListBox.checked items?

Remove selected item from ListView from ImageFileCollectionViewModel

I'm trying to remove the selected Item file from the list-view and also from the directory but I couldn't succeed. How can i remove this.?
string destination_dir = System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() + #"./4x6";
public ImggLList()
{
InitializeComponent();
ListViewImage.Items.Clear();
DataContextChanged += OnDataContextChanged;
ImageFileCollectionViewModel ImagesViewModel = new ImageFileCollectionViewModel();
ImageFileControler.CompleteViewList(ImagesViewModel, destination_dir);
ListViewImage.DataContext = ImagesViewModel;
}
OnDataContextChanged
private ImageFileCollectionViewModel _currentDataContext = null;
private void OnDataContextChanged(object sender, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
if (_currentDataContext == DataContext) return;
if (_currentDataContext != null)
_currentDataContext.SelectedImageFileViewModels = null;
_currentDataContext = DataContext as ImageFileCollectionViewModel;
if (_currentDataContext != null)
_currentDataContext.SelectedImageFileViewModels = ListViewImage.SelectedItems;
}
Button Function:

ADD url in textbox to listbox in Windows Form Application c#

Iam new in programming.In windows Form application ,I want user can write a url in textbox and add (with button) in listbox as a favorite list,then user can click in listbox and then go to browser, finaly can save and open the list? whitout Microsoft Sql Database.I Need a source code.
textbox: (Enter your WebSite) : www.google.com
Button:ADD To List Box
Listbox:WWW.Google.com
Button :Save
Button :Open

You have to save the ListBox.Items as plain text file if not wanting to use database. Without binding, this simple problem becomes a little nasty if you start digging into writing it. Here is one of the solution you may need:
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
int lastIndex = -1;
bool suppressSelectedIndexChanged;
//Click event handler for buttonAdd
private void buttonAdd_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
listBox1.Items.Add(textBox1.Text);
suppressSelectedIndexChanged = true;
listBox1.SelectedIndex = listBox1.Items.Count - 1;
suppressSelectedIndexChanged = false;
}
//Click event handler for buttonRemove
private void buttonRemove_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (listBox1.SelectedIndices.Count == 0) return;
int k = listBox1.SelectedIndices[0];
suppressSelectedIndexChanged = true;
for (int i = listBox1.SelectedIndices.Count - 1; i >= 0; i--)
listBox1.Items.RemoveAt(listBox1.SelectedIndices[i]);
suppressSelectedIndexChanged = false;
lastIndex = -1;
listBox1.SelectedIndex = k < listBox1.Items.Count ? k : listBox1.Items.Count - 1;
if (listBox1.Items.Count == 0) textBox1.Clear();
}
//Click event handler for buttonSave
private void buttonSave_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
SaveFileDialog save = new SaveFileDialog();
save.Filter = "URLs file|*.urls";
save.FileOk += (s, ev) =>
{
using (StreamWriter writer = File.CreateText(save.FileName))
{
foreach (object item in listBox1.Items)
{
writer.WriteLine(item.ToString());
}
}
};
save.ShowDialog();
}
//Click event handler for buttonOpen
private void buttonOpen_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
OpenFileDialog open = new OpenFileDialog();
open.Filter = "URLs file|*.urls";
open.FileOk += (s, ev) =>
{
listBox1.Items.Clear();
using (StreamReader reader = File.OpenText(open.FileName))
{
string line = "";
while ((line = reader.ReadLine()) != null)
{
listBox1.Items.Add(line);
}
}
};
open.ShowDialog();
}
//SelectedIndexChanged event handler for listBox1
private void listBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (suppressSelectedIndexChanged) return;
if (lastIndex > -1)
{
listBox1.Items[lastIndex] = textBox1.Text;
}
lastIndex = listBox1.SelectedIndex;
if (listBox1.SelectedIndex > -1)
textBox1.Text = listBox1.Items[listBox1.SelectedIndex].ToString();
}
//Click event handler for buttonVisit
private void buttonVisit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (listBox1.SelectedItem == null) return;
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(listBox1.SelectedItem.ToString());
}
}
Here is the GUI screen shot for you to know which controls are needed:

private void btnAdd_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string _webstring = #"http://";
string _website = _webstring + textBox1.Text;
listBox1.Items.Add(_website);
using (StreamWriter w = File.AppendText("websites.txt"))
{
WriteLog(_website, w);
}
using (StreamReader r = File.OpenText("websites.txt"))
{
DisposeLog(r);
}
}
private void btnLaunch_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("iexplore.exe", listBox1.SelectedItem.ToString());
}
private void btnSave_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
using (StreamWriter w = File.AppendText("websites.txt"))
{
foreach (string items in listBox1.Items)
{
WriteLog(items, w);
}
}
using (StreamReader r = File.OpenText("websites.txt"))
{
DisposeLog(r);
}
}
public static void WriteLog(string logMessage, TextWriter w)
{
w.WriteLine(logMessage, logMessage);
}
public static void DisposeLog(StreamReader r)
{
string line;
while ((line = r.ReadLine()) != null)
{
Console.WriteLine(line);
}
}
private void btnRetrieve_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
using (TextReader txtRead = File.OpenText("Websites.txt"))
{
string _text = "";
string[] _textArray = null;
while ((_text = txtRead.ReadLine()) != null)
{
_textArray = _text.Split('\t');
listBox1.Items.Add(txtRead.ReadLine());
}
txtRead.Close();
}
}
hope this helps.. thanks
