The ListBox can be populated from various types of data sources:

DataSourceControls - SqlDataSource, ObjectDataSource, LinqDataSource etc.;
LINQ - LINQ queries at runtime;
Collections (generic & non-generic) - IList, IEnumerable, etc.;
DataSet / DataTable;
Declarative

The ListBox presented in this sample is populated from a generic collection. This is done by passing the generic collection to the DataSource property of the ListBox and calling its DataBind method. Also, the DataValueField and DataTextField properties need to be used to specify the name of the properties of the collection's objects that will be used to populate the Value and Text properties of the generated ListBoxItems.
