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

You can use ItemContainerStyle instead of ItemTemplate if you want to add ListBoxItems directly to the ListBox.

Doing so, however, is only recommended when you need unique characteristics on a per item level.

If you are planning on all the items looking the same or making a dynamic list using ItemsSource, I would recommend you add strings (or another custom object) to your list and use ItemTemplate to display your items. (see Jobi Joy's answer)

Here's an example using ItemContainerStyle:

    

        
            
        

        
            Bob
            Jim
            Dave
            Larry
            Tom
