Which format has your response?

If XML, you could use this one:

XElement xmlItems = XElement.Parse(e.Result);

var items = from item in xmlItems.Descendants("item-element-name")
select new Item
{
    field1 = item.Element("field1").Value,
    field2 = item.Element("field2").Value
};

listBox.ItemsSource = items.ToList();

Also, consider to use ObservableCollection if your list will be changing in run-time
