Question

Instead of adding each item one by one to the ListBox destinationList from the string array m_List like this:

foreach (object name in m_List)
{
    destinationList.Items.Add((string)name);
}

Is there any better way I can do it?

I don’t want to bind the data to the destinationList since I want to delete some entries from the ListBox later on.

HTH:

    string[] list = new string[] { "1", "2", "3" };

    ObservableCollection<string> oList;
    oList = new System.Collections.ObjectModel.ObservableCollection<string>(list);
    listBox1.DataContext = oList;

    Binding binding = new Binding();
    listBox1.SetBinding(ListBox.ItemsSourceProperty, binding);

    (listBox1.ItemsSource as ObservableCollection<string>).RemoveAt(0);

Just use (ItemSource as ObservableCollection)… to work with items, and not Items.Add etc.
