Hi,
I have tried severalexamples of styled listboxes, but cannot find any examples of how to interact with the listbox as if it was a standard control.

I can get a styled listbox to look nice on a c# window, but cannot find how to attach it to data, or how to select and use items within it.

The only way I can see items are those added manually in design time.

Please could someone point me in the right direction to accomplish this, or to suggest a sample application using a styled listbox and styled listitems ?

Many Thanks for any help.

Hi Biswa, Many thanks for your reply, I will check it out asap, but thought I'd acknowledge your reply first.

I found this at the time of asking the question. This example from mcirosoft!! (first time ive found anything useful on their site!). This sample uses Data templates and XML-Dataprovider, but not sure how this would work for database related content ?
