Question

In the current client I am using (control rather), the way to receive/parse a request is:

        var result = (IDictionary<string, object>)e.GetResultData();
        string id = result["id"].ToString();
        string name = result["name"].ToString();

        Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(() =>
        {

            id.ItemsSource = new List<String> { 
                id, 
                name};
        }

XAML looks like:

<ListBox Height="168" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="204,21,0,0" Name="id" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="239" >
   <ListBox.ItemTemplate>
     <DataTemplate>
       <StackPanel Orientation="Vertical" Margin="2">
          <TextBlock Text="{Binding}" />
       </StackPanel>
      </DataTemplate>
    </ListBox.ItemTemplate>
 </ListBox>

NEW UPDATE – FOR HELP (UNRESOLVED):
I am trying to use these strings so that I can put each item in a ListBox if more exist, opposed to just grabbing 1 item set (e.g. id, name, link).

   public class Datum
    {
        public string id { get; set; }
        public string name { get; set; }
        public string link { get; set; }
    }

Any help is beyond appreciated!

Answer 1

You need to set the ItemsSource as something that implements IEnumerable.

id.ItemsSource = new List<String> { id };

You also need to adjust your binding to take in the DataContext since you are not passing in an object.

<TextBlock Text="{Binding}" />

If you want to expand outside of a simple String create a class that will wrap your contents and then bind to the given property.

class Person
{
     String id {get; set;}
     String name {get; set;}
}

 <ListBox Height="168" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="204,21,0,0" Name="id" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="239" >
   <ListBox.ItemTemplate>
     <DataTemplate>
       <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Margin="2">
          <TextBlock Text="{Binding id}" />
          <TextBlock Text="{Binding name}" />
       </StackPanel>
      </DataTemplate>
    </ListBox.ItemTemplate>
 </ListBox>

Then in your code behind you can create an instance and assign as before.

Person p = new Person();
p.id = "id";
p.name = "name";

List<Person> people = new List<Person>();
people.Add(p);

id.ItemsSource = people;

This is a simplistic example but should provide you with what you need.
