Binding ListBox to List (Collection) in XAML
- by david2tm
Hello,
I'm learning WPF, so I'm kind of n00b in this.
I saw some examples about how to do what I want to do, but nothing exactly...
The question: I want to bind List to ListBox. I want to do it in XAML, w/o coding in code behind. How can I achieve that?
Right now I do it that way:
<!-- XAML -->
<ListBox x:Name="FileList">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Label Content="{Binding Path=.}"/>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
// Code behind
public MainWindow()
{
// ...
files = new List<string>();
FileList.ItemsSource = files;
}
private void FolderBrowser_TextChanged(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
string folder = FolderBrowser.Text;
files.Clear();
files.AddRange(Directory.GetFiles(folder, "*.txt", SearchOption.AllDirectories));
FileList.Items.Refresh();
}
But I want to get rid of FileList.ItemsSource = files; and FileList.Items.Refresh(); in C# code.
Thanks
