C#: easiest way to populate a ListBox from a List

Question

If I have a list of strings, eg:

List<string> MyList = new List<string>(); MyList.Add("HELLO"); MyList.Add("WORLD"); 

Is there an easy way to populate a ListBox using the contents of MyList?

Answer 1

Try :

List<string> MyList = new List<string>(); MyList.Add("HELLO"); MyList.Add("WORLD");  listBox1.DataSource = MyList; 

Have a look at ListControl.DataSource Property

Answer 2

You can also use the AddRange method

listBox1.Items.AddRange(myList.ToArray());
