Answer 1

You need to handle the ItemCommand event of one DataList in which you have to copy the selected data (image) into another dataSource of two DataList and remove that item from the datasource of one DataList .

Markup:

<asp:DataList 
            ID="DataList1" 
            runat="server"
            OnItemCommand="PerformMove" 
            >
        <ItemTemplate>
        <br /><%#Eval("Text") %>
        <asp:Button ID="btn1" 
                runat="server" 
                Text="Move"
                CommandName="cmd"
                CommandArgument='<%#Eval("Text") %>'
                />

        </ItemTemplate>
</asp:DataList>
<asp:DataList ID="DataList2" runat="server">
            <ItemTemplate>
            <br /><%#Eval("Text") %>
            </ItemTemplate>
</asp:DataList>

Code-behind (.cs)

public class Data
    {
        public string Text { get; set; }
        public override int GetHashCode()
        {
            return Text.GetHashCode();
        }
        public override bool Equals(object obj)
        {
            return GetHashCode() == obj.GetHashCode();
        }
    }
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (!IsPostBack)
        {
            List<Data> list1 = new List<Data >()
            {
                 new Data() { Text="One"},
                 new Data() { Text="Two"},
                 new Data() { Text="Three"},
            };
            List<Data> list2 = new List<Data>();
            Session["list1"] = list1;
            Session["list2"] = list2;

            DataList1.DataSource = Session["list1"];
            DataList1.DataBind();

            DataList2.DataSource = Session["list2"];
            DataList2.DataBind();
        }
    }
    protected void PerformMove(object source, DataListCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.CommandName == "cmd")
        {
            List<Data> list1 = Session["list1"] as List<Data>;
            List<Data> list2 = Session["list2"] as List<Data>;

            list1.Remove(new Data() { Text=e.CommandArgument.ToString() });
            list2.Add(new Data() { Text = e.CommandArgument.ToString() });
            DataList1.DataSource = Session["list1"];
            DataList1.DataBind();

            DataList2.DataSource = Session["list2"];
            DataList2.DataBind();
        }
    }

Answer 2

I am using this code and its working well for me.

    ArrayList ImgArry = new ArrayList();
    path = objGetBaseCase.GetImages(TotImgIds);
    ImgArry.Add(SelImgId);
    ImgArry.Add(SelImgpath);//image name
    ImgArry.Add(SelImgName);//image path
    //path.Remove(ImgArry);
    List<ArrayList> t = new List<ArrayList>();
    if (newpath.Count > 0)
        t = newpath;
    t.Add(ImgArry);
    newpath = t;
    for (int i = 0; i < newpath.Count; i++)
    {
        ArrayList alst = newpath[i];
        newtb.Rows.Add(Convert.ToInt32(alst[0]), alst[1].ToString(), alst[2].ToString(), i);

    }
    dlstSelectedImages.DataSource = newtb;
    DataBind();

    path = objGetBaseCase.GetImages(TotImgIds);
    for (int i = 0; i < path.Count; i++)
    {
        ArrayList alst = path[i];
        tb.Rows.Add(Convert.ToInt32(alst[0]), alst[1].ToString(), alst[2].ToString(), i);

    }
    dlstImage.DataSource = tb;
    DataBind();
