C# surface 2 DataSource

Question

I am working in Visual C# -> surface -> v2.0 -> Surface Application (WPF) template in MS visual C# 2010 express.

I am trying to get the inputs on the surface table (Samsung SUR40) and parse these to a JSON array.

Each input I want to add as an item in a listbox including an item id to find these back later if the input is moving.

I found this example and get an error like:

C:\\Users\\User\\documents\\visual studio 2010\\Projects\\SurfaceInputs\\SurfaceInputs\\SurfaceWindow1.xaml.cs(209,25): error CS1061: 'System.Windows.Controls.ListBox' does not contain a definition for 'DataSource' and no extension method 'DataSource' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Windows.Controls.ListBox' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

The same error occurs for the DisplayMember and the ValueMember.

After the failed example I tried this piece of code which give me the same error:

List<string> list = new List<string>();
list.Add("Hello World");
myListBox.DataSource = list;

I'm a newb at C# and dont know what i'm doing wrong. Could anyone help me?

Answer 1

Try myListBox.ItemsSource = list .

See MSDN for the docs.
