Solution

  • In order for a ListBox to update dynamically as items are added to the list, you need to choose a collection class that raises events when items are added / removed. You should use ObservableCollection as your ItemsSource. This collection raises the CollectionChanged event when it is modified. ListBox handles this event and updates accordingly.
