Data binding in a ListBox in Silverlight

In Silverlight, the ListBox is a very powerful control. Summarizes how data is bound in the listbox.

First, create a new book class,

1      Public class Book2     {3          Public stringBookName {Get;Set; }4 5          Public stringAuthor {Get;Set; }6}

In the next BookViewModel.cs,

1      Public classBookviewmodel2     {3         PrivateList<book>Booklist;4 5          PublicBookviewmodel ()6         {7              This. Booklist =NewList<book>() { 8             NewBook () {bookname="Book1", author="Author1"},9             NewBook () {bookname="Book2", author="Author2"},Ten             NewBook () {bookname="BOOK3", author="Author3"} One             }; A         } -  -          PublicList<book>Booklist the         { -             Get{return  This. Booklist;} -         } -}

In view, add the binding ViewModel

1     <UserControl.DataContext>2         <viewmodel:BookViewModel/>3     </ Usercontrol.datacontext>

There are two ways of binding a ListBox:

Way One:

1 <listbox name="listtmp" grid.row="1" grid.column="0" itemssource="{Binding Booklist,mode=twoway} " 2                  Displaymemberpath="bookname"/>

Way two:

1<listbox grid.row="1"grid.column="0"Itemssource="{Binding Booklist,mode=twoway}">2<ListBox.ItemTemplate>3<DataTemplate>4<stackpanel orientation="Horizontal">5<textblock text="{Binding Bookname,mode=twoway}"/>6<textblock text="||"/>7<textblock text="{Binding Author,mode=twoway}"/>8</StackPanel>9</DataTemplate>Ten</ListBox.ItemTemplate> One</ListBox>
