i have a single column datatable and a listbox
in the following function i am trying to set the listbox item source to the datatable but it displays the rows as System.Datarow

Private Sub setghostshopslistitemsource()
        GhostShopsList.Items.Clear()
        Dim con As New OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & mydocumentddir & "\Settings\Settings.mdb")
        GhostsDatatableda = New OleDbDataAdapter("Select Ghost From GhostsTable", con)
        GhostsDatatableda.Fill(GhostsDatatable)
        GhostShopsList.ItemsSource = GhostsDatatable.DefaultView

You need to specify how the rows should be displayed. If you just need a text box, then write something like this:

<ListBox>
    <ListBox.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <TextBlock Text="{Binding Ghost}" />
        </DataTemplate>
    </ListBox.ItemTemplate> 
</ListBox>
