Can I bind a database with million records to a listbox?

Question

Can I bind a list with over 1,000,000 records to a list box so that the list box is dynamically populated from the sqlite database as the user scrolls.

This is needed to show all our data in a list box without throwing an outofmemory exception. Is there any built in methods or framework's that I can use or do I need to build the control myself?

Also are there any disadvantages of this.

Cheers

You should virtualize UI and data loading. You can't just bind 1,000,000 item collection to the list without any code. Read this tutorial about displaying large data sets .
