use Dictionary<String,String> as datasource for ListBox?

[jrenae]

Hello,

I'm trying to use a generic Dictionary<String,String> as the datasource for my ListBox. I can bind to it without error but I see both the value and the key in the DataTextField.

Is it possible to define the Dictionary.Value as the ListBox.DataValueField?

It's not seeming that way to me, but thought I'd throw this out there.

Thanks

I would not use a generic dictionary. I would use a simple POCO instead with a value and text property. then bind the listbox values to the value property and text to the text property.
