What approach is good for US State ListBox/DropDownList

Question

What is the best approach to bind US State in WPF (in ListBox or in DropDownList)? Should I use DataTable to bind this data? Is binding DataTable to WPF object right programming approach? Or Should I use class/object. I mean get data from database and convert it to Generic Object List and then bind this list to WPF object?

Thanks,

 public class States
    {
        private string name;  
        public string Name    
        {
            get
            {
                return name;
            }
        }

        private string id;  
        public string Id  
        {
            get
            {
                return id;
            }
        }
    }

        List<States> states = new List<States>();

        //get from database


        foreach( states DataSource)
        {
            name = "Alabama";
            id = "1";
        }

        // next Cache list of states for better performance

Many ways... One approach is to use a list class. get from data source, next cache for better performance.
