The below code demonstrates a really simple way of binding data to the Standard ListBox control in Windows Phone 7 using C# .
Assuming , you have the Class Movie as described below
public class Movie
{
public string Actor { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
}
Create a List of Movie with the Data .
public class MovieList : List
{
public MovieList()
{
Add(new Movie { Name = "Kaavalan", Actor = "Vijay", });
Add(new Movie { Name = "Velayutham", Actor = "Vijay", });
Add(new Movie { Name = "7th Sense", Actor = "Surya", });
Add(new Movie { Name = "Billa 2", Actor = "Ajith Kumar", });
Add(new Movie { Name = "Nanban", Actor = "Vijay", });
}
}
No create the ListBox in the XAML page and add the ItemTemplate to the ListBox along with a textbox to display the Name as described below
<ListBox Height="596" Name="listBox1" Width="380" >
<ListBox.ItemTemplate> <DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Name}">
</TextBlock>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
Now , assign the MovieList to the Listbox’s ItemSource Property
public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
FillListBox();
}
private void FillListBox()
{
listBox1.ItemsSource = new MovieList();
}
}
Run the Windows Phone Application by pressing F5 to launch the Windows Phone Emulator .
