Well one way you could do this is simply check if the second listbox contains the value using the contains() method of items and then remove it...

// Check if we have a selected item in first box
if (listBox1.SelectedItem != null) {

	 // Look for it in the second box and if found, remove it.
	 if (listBox2.Items.Contains(listBox1.SelectedItem)) {
		  listBox2.Items.Remove(listBox1.SelectedItem);
	 }
}

Another way you could do this is simply to loop through the second listbox and compare each value to the value of the first listbox. If the two match, then remove that item from the second listbox. It is a bit more work to do that, but can also be useful if you were storing custom objects and wanted to compare objects on different values.
