Sorting datatable

[estonianman]

I have a listbox that must be bound to a datatable. This morning I attempted to write some code that would allow the user to move a listbox item up or down in the list, and to disable the sort buttons if the item is on top or bottom. When I ran the applicaiton, I recieved an error stating that I cannot do this while the listbox is bound to a datasource. Basically I assumed that the listbox works the same as a datagridview in that manipulating the listbox also manipulates the datatable. This is not the case. I must have the listbox bound to a dattable because later I need it to export to xml. So my question is this, I need to change the index of a datatable row. Basically it is a datatable with two columns, an index and a string.

thx

ps... here is the code I use for sorting.....

'Arealist code
 
    Private Sub AreaList_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles AreaList.SelectedIndexChanged
        ProcessGrid.DataMember = AreaList.GetItemText(AreaList.SelectedItem)
        Dim selectedIndex As Integer = AreaList.SelectedIndex
        ListUp.Enabled = selectedIndex <> -1 AndAlso selectedIndex > 0
        ListDown.Enabled = selectedIndex <> -1 AndAlso selectedIndex < AreaList.Items.Count - 1
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub MoveSelectedItem(ByVal increment As Integer)
        Dim selectedIndex As Integer = AreaList.SelectedItem + increment
        Dim selectedItem As Object = AreaList.SelectedItem
 
        AreaList.Items.Remove(selectedItem)
        AreaList.Items.Insert(selectedIndex, selectedItem)
        AreaList.SelectedIndex = selectedIndex
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub ListDown_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ListDown.Click
        MoveSelectedItem(1)
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub ListUp_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ListUp.Click
        MoveSelectedItem(-1)
    End Sub
