Observable Collection Not Dispalying in WPF Listbox
I am using an ObservableCollection in a C# class that picks up image files via a FileWatcher.
The FullPath property of my class is bound to my WPF ListBOx but nothing shows in the listbox.

Hi I attached my solution files as a ZIP. Also the imges in the ZIP called FISH.ZIP should be placed in your Pictures folder.
The images in FISH (PNG files) should get bound to the WPF ListBox (FishBox) and display but they do not. The FishBooks ObservabeCollection DOES contain items properly constructed.
So much thanks in advancce for your help. I need to get this done tonight for a job interview and have hit a WPF Wall :)
NOTE: I think not all Files were aloowed (XAML) ain the ZIP I sent so I pasted teh code also.

The PING files in the attached ZIP were also RESOURCES in the solution so they can be used as icons for the TreeView items.
there is nothing wrong in your binding. But here you are creating two instances of FishBooks. one in xaml(FishBooks) and another in codebehind (fishbks in FishController). so whatever items you are adding that is in fishbks. while you have bind your listbox to "FishBooks" instance. so your listbox never gets updated.
what you can do is change the code as attached snippet.
that way you can add items in the instance which you have defined in xaml.

//in window1.xaml.cs change Window1 constructor as follows
public Window1()
{
InitializeComponent();
FishBooks fsbks = (FishBooks)this.FindResource("FishBooks");
FishController fishcontroller = new FishController(fsbks);
}
//change your FishController constructor as follows
//note the parameter added
public FishController(FishBooks fishbks)
{
// FishBooks fishbks = new FishBooks();
foreach (string s in Directory.GetFiles(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyPictures).ToString() + System.IO.Path.DirectorySeparatorChar + "Fish", "*.png"))
{
// fishbks.ItemsUpdated += delegate { this.Dispatcher.Invoke(DispatcherPriority.Normal, new ThreadStart(Refresh)); };
FishBook fish = new FishBook(s);
fishbks.Add(fish);
}
}
just to make it simple I changed listbox datatemplate as attached.

Thank you UNMESHDAVE. THat shed light on the processes of WPF and solved that problem.
Would you also hae any asuggestions on how to separate this code so that it is more in the pardigm of Model-View-Controller? I want the code that keeps a FileWatcher also to be enabled so that adding image files to the source folder ("FISH") results in the WPF ListBox getting refreshed autmoatically as it is an ObservableCollection.

well, MVC can not be perfectly implemented fow WPF as WPF itself designed such a way. better to use MVVVM with WPF applications.
