c＃WPF从列表框中选择的项目绑定到数据表

Question

I'm building a wpf application and I made my database using Entity Framework code first.

I have a list box bound to a table

XAML

<ListBox x:Name="lstDishes" Height="415" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Margin="0,0,1032,42" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Width="281" ItemsSource="{Binding}" Background="#FFDDC9B0" BorderBrush="{x:Null}" FontSize="15" MouseDoubleClick="lstDishes_MouseDoubleClick">

XAML.CS

var dish = (from Dish in db.Dishes
            select Dish).ToList();
lstDishes.ItemsSource = dish;
lstDishes.DisplayMemberPath = "Description";

On item double click, I would like to show selected item in another listbox.

I was trying to manage it, but before I was doing some kind of trial for the selected item, showing a message box on double click

private void lstDishes_MouseDoubleClick(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
   MessageBox.Show("You selected: " + lstDishes.SelectedItem.ToString());
}

But the result of my messagebox is this:

Of course it's not readable.

• How can I get the selected item as it's shown in listbox?

• Do you have any suggestion for the next step where I'm going to binde the selected item to another listbox?

Edit

Since my listbox is bound to a table in database, I had to cast the selected item as my type of entity.

Answer 1

You need to get the type of the selected item and

private void lstDishes_MouseDoubleClick(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
   var Selected =  lstDishes.SelectedItem as Dish;
   MessageBox.Show("You selected: " + Selected.Description));   
}
