WPF - Very basic ListBox.ItemTemplate Question

Question

Ok, this is an embarassingly simple-looking problem, but is driving me crazy. I\'m learning about DataTemplating and am trying to apply a very VERY simple ItemTemplate to a List

Answer 1

ItemTemplate wont work when you put ListBoxItem directly as items. General concept is you databind a CRL collection to the ListBox.ItemsSource and then specify the ItemTemplate. Check the below code.

 
        
            
                
                    
                        
                        
                    
                
            
            
                Bob
                Jim
                Dave
                Larry
                Tom
            
        
    

where sys is xmlns:sys="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib"

In this way, there are 5 ListBoxItems getting generated in the background and added to the ListBox.
