How to Bind Listbox in windows phone 8.1

Question

I want to bind listbox in windows phone app 8.1. I am using following code but It raise an error :

Additional information: The application called an interface that was marshalled for a different thread. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8001010E (RPC_E_WRONG_THREAD)).

I am using the following code

private void getResponse(IAsyncResult result)
    {
        HttpWebRequest request = result.AsyncState as HttpWebRequest;
        if (request != null)
        {
            try
            {
                WebResponse response = request.EndGetResponse(result);
                Stream streamResponse = response.GetResponseStream();
                StreamReader streamRead = new StreamReader(streamResponse);
                string read = streamRead.ReadToEnd();

                deserializeJsonString(read);
                List<lstData> list = new List<lstData>();
                lstData lstObj = new lstData();
                foreach (var itm in childList.AppData)
                {
                    lstObj.app_name = Convert.ToString(itm.app_name);
                    lstObj.app_url = Convert.ToString(itm.app_url);
                    list.Add(lstObj);

                }

                mylistbox.ItemsSource = list;

            }
            catch (WebException e)
            {
                // Debug.WriteLine("Exception in getResponse" + e);
            }


        }
    }

and my xaml page :

<ListBox x:Name="mylistbox" Margin="0,234,0,0">
    <ListBox.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
                <TextBlock Text="{Binding app_name}" FontSize="45" Margin="0,10" Width="204"></TextBlock>
                <TextBlock Text="{Binding app_url}" FontSize="35" Width="246" Margin="0,10"/>
            </StackPanel>
        </DataTemplate>
    </ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>

You're mutating something bound to the UI on a non-UI thread. You'll need to marshall this on to the UI thread.

You could use a helper method on yuor view model to get stuff back on to the UI thread, so something like:

    protected delegate void OnUIThreadDelegate();
    /// <summary>
    /// Allows the specified delegate to be performed on the UI thread.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="onUIThreadDelegate">The delegate to be executed on the UI thread.</param>
    protected static void OnUIThread(OnUIThreadDelegate onUIThreadDelegate)
    {
        if (onUIThreadDelegate != null)
        {
            if (Deployment.Current.Dispatcher.CheckAccess())
            {
                onUIThreadDelegate();
            }
            else
            {
                Deployment.Current.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(onUIThreadDelegate);
            }
        }
    }

This could then be called something like:

OnUIThread(() =>
{
    lmylistbox.ItemsSource = list;
});

Well, your code is probably not in UI Thread. Try to change your code to that:

private void getResponse(IAsyncResult result)
{
    HttpWebRequest request = result.AsyncState as HttpWebRequest;
    if (request != null)
    {
        try
        {
            WebResponse response = request.EndGetResponse(result);
            Stream streamResponse = response.GetResponseStream();
            StreamReader streamRead = new StreamReader(streamResponse);
            string read = streamRead.ReadToEnd();
            deserializeJsonString(read);
            List<lstData> list = new List<lstData>();
            lstData lstObj = new lstData();
            CoreApplication.MainView.CoreWindow.Dispatcher.RunAsync(CoreDispatcherPriority.Normal, () => {
              foreach (var itm in childList.AppData)
              {
                lstObj.app_name = Convert.ToString(itm.app_name);
                lstObj.app_url = Convert.ToString(itm.app_url);
                list.Add(lstObj);

              }
                mylistbox.ItemsSource = list;
             });
        }
        catch (WebException e)
        {
            // Debug.WriteLine("Exception in getResponse" + e);
        }


    }
}

await Windows.ApplicationModel.Core.CoreApplication
                                    .MainView
                                    .CoreWindow.Dispatcher.RunAsync(CoreDispatcherPriority.Normal, () =>
                                    {
                                         mylistbox.ItemsSource = list;
                                    });
