asp.net webcontrols : .Selected property for listbox does not work

Hi
I have written a code for showing the list boxes as selected using a
Listitem and the selected property of the items.
Now I have 2 list boxes in my page. But it shows only the selected values
of the last list box in both the list boxes.
If i reverse the calls to the filllistbox methods it shows the value
selected for the 1st list box in both the listboxes.
I have the code for my method below. Is there a way I can solve this
problem?

The method calls are as follows :-

this.FillListBox(myModel.CustomerLBUserList, myModel.SelectedPRList,
this.lstProofreaders);

this.FillListBox(myModel.CustomerLBUserList, myModel.SelectedRevList,
this.lstReviewers);


Thanks in advance

sounds to me that you are having a timing problem. you are creating the the
list in the wrong spot. Check out this article and that should help:
