Read text file and add to Listbox WP7

Question

I have a file in which the first line is a phone and the second is a date. I read the file and add the content to a listbox fine and everything is in a different row. Now i changed the listbox to contain 2 textboxes.

<ListBox Name="listBox1" ItemsSource="{Binding}">
  <DataTemplate>
        <StackPanel>
               <TextBlock Text="{Binding Phone}" FontSize="32"/>
               <TextBlock Text="{Binding MyDate}" FontSize="16"/>
        </StackPanel>
  </DataTemplate>

How to bind the data from the file? Thank you

Answer 1

Create a class to represent your data:

class PhoneDate
{
 public string Phone{get;set;}
 public DateTime MyDate{get;set;}
}

Then load your data into a list

List<PhoneDate> data = //load

Finally bind the list to the listbox:

listBox1.ItemsSource = data;

Now your bindings will work.

Answer 2

If you want them to lay out horizontally then you need Orientation="Horizontal" on the StackPanel.

If you want header and column alignment then ListView Gridview will do thatn
