How to create sample data collection from my own class in expression blend 4?

Question

Can anyone help me? it seems no way to do this in blend 4

Answer 1

The method I'm using now - although really less than perfect - is by creating a dummy class which contains a list of items of the original class. I.e.:

class We_Want_Items_Of {}
class Dummy_Class { List<We_Want_Items_Of> Test {get;set;}}

Then you can create a sample datum for the Dummy_Class, which will contain a list of We_Want_Items_Of's. You can then use that list as a data source for, for instance, a ListBox.
