Binding Listbox to List object in WinForms

Question

What s the simplest way to bind a Listbox to a List of objects in Windows Forms

User · Answer

Pretending you are displaying a list of customer objects with "customerName" and "customerId" properties:

listBox.DataSource = customerListObject;
listBox.DataTextField = "customerName";
listBox.DataValueField = "customerId";
listBox.DataBind();

Edit: I know this works in asp.net - if you are doing a winforms app, it should be pretty similar (I hope...)

You re looking for the DataSource property   List lt SomeType gt  someList        myListBox DataSource   someList    You should also set the DisplayMember property to the name of a property in the object that you want the listbox to display   If you don t  it will call ToString

Granted  this isn t going to provide you anything truly meaningful unless the objects have properly overriden ToString    or you re not really working with a generic list of objects and can bind to specific fields    List lt object gt  objList   new List lt object gt         Fill the list  someListBox DataSource   objList

There are two main routes here   1   listBox1 DataSource   yourList   Do any manipulation  Add Delete  to yourList and Rebind  Set DisplayMember and ValueMember to control what is shown   2   listBox1 Items AddRange yourList ToArray       or use a for-loop to do Items Add        You can control Display by overloading ToString   of the list objects or by implementing the listBox1 Format event
