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?

Solution 1

Try :

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

listBox1.DataSource = MyList;

Have a look at ListControl.DataSource Property

Solution 2

You can also use the AddRange method

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

Solution 3

Is this what you are looking for:

myListBox.DataSource = MyList;
