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

Try :

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

listBox1.DataSource = MyList;
