Let’s say, for instance, I have the following extremely simple window:

<Window x:Class='CalendarGenerator.Window1'         xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation'         xmlns:x='http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml'         Title='Window1'         Height='300'         Width='447'>   <Grid>     <ListBox Margin='12,40,0,12'              Name='eventList'              HorizontalAlignment='Left'              Width='134' />   </Grid> </Window>

And a simple list defined as:

List<String> ListOfNames = new List<String>();

And let’s assume that the list has several names in it. How would I go about binding the List to the ListBox using as much code-behind as possible?

  1. First you’d need to give your ListBox a name so that it’s accessible from your code behind (edit I note you’ve already done this, so I’ll change my example ListBox’s name to reflect yours):

    <ListBox x:Name='eventList' ... />

    Then it’s as simple as setting the ListBox’s ItemsSource property to your list:

    eventList.ItemsSource = ListOfNames;

    Since you’ve defined your ‘ListOfNames’ object as a List<String>, the ListBox won’t automatically reflect changes made to the list. To get WPF’s databinding to react to changes within the list, define it as an ObservableCollection<String> instead.
