如何从类的通用列表设置列表框的数据源

Question

How can I bind List to the datasource of a Listbox? I want to to set the visible property Name.

Here is my class and list:

 public class Users
 {
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public DateTime Data { get; set; }
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public Users()
    {
        Name = null;
        Data = DateTime.Now;
        Id = 0;
    }
    public Users(string N,DateTime dateTime, int id)
    {
        Name = N;
        Data = dateTime;
        Id = id;
    }
}

Here is how I try to bound the datasource:

        ListBox1.DataSource = ((List<Users>) Application["Users_On"]);
        ListBox1.DataBind();

Answer 1

  ListBox1.DataSource = ((List<Users>) Application["Users_On"]);
  ListBox1.DataTextField = "Name";
  ListBox1.DataBind();

You can use the DataTextField property of the ListBox class to display the Name propperty of your object.

Alex, not really sure how you are trying to generate and bound the values, I'll try to simplify, lets say I have a class called GenericLists , where I'll declare all the reusable generic data, let's assume products for example so I can do like this :

private Dictionary<int, string> relatedProducts { set; get;}
public Dictionary<int, string> relatedProductsList { 
        get {return relatedProducts; } 
    }

public GenericLists()
{
        relatedProducts = new Dictionary<int, string>
            {
                    {0, "CTRL + Click to select multiples"},
                    {1, "A"},
                    {2, "B"},
                    {3, "C"},
                    {4, "D"},
             };
}

And now I want to bind it to a listbox in any form :

  GenericLists gList = new GenericLists();

            products.DataSource = gList.relatedProductsList;
            products.DataValueField = "Key";
            products.DataTextField = "Value";
            products.DataBind();

I hope this would give you an idea.

Good Luck
