Question

I am doing my first Windows Phone 7 application. It looks like DataGrid is not supported there. I am trying to find work around.

I do have such ListBox:

    <ListBox x:Name="myListBox" Grid.Row="3">
        <ListBox.ItemTemplate>
            <DataTemplate>
                <Grid>
                    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                        <ColumnDefinition />
                        <ColumnDefinition />
                        <ColumnDefinition />
                    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                    <Image Name="assetImage" Grid.Column="0" />
                    <TextBlock Name="assetId" Grid.Column="1" />
                    <TextBlock Name="market" Grid.Column="2" />
                </Grid>
            </DataTemplate>
        </ListBox.ItemTemplate>
    </ListBox>

How do I set ItemsSource for such kind of list?

Let’s say I have List<MyObject> { string uri; string assetid; string market;}

Thanks!

Do this (adding bindings in your elements):

<ListBox x:Name="myListBox" Grid.Row="3">
        <ListBox.ItemTemplate>
            <DataTemplate>
                <Grid>
                    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                        <ColumnDefinition />
                        <ColumnDefinition />
                        <ColumnDefinition />
                    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                    <Image Source="{Binding uri}" Name="assetImage" Grid.Column="0" />
                    <TextBlock Text="{Binding assetid}"  Name="assetId" Grid.Column="1" />
                    <TextBlock Text="{Binding market}" Name="market" Grid.Column="2" />
                </Grid>
            </DataTemplate>
        </ListBox.ItemTemplate>
    </ListBox>

Now add the following code at the point where you want to create binding:

myListBox.ItemsSource=myObjects;

I assume that MyObject is a class with uri, assetid and market as properties and myObjects is a List<> with items of the type MyObject.
