Help binding listitemcollection to listbox

i think you can
lst = (ListItemCollection)Campuses.GetCampuses(Session("gblDistrictID"), conn)

lstCampus.DataSource=lst;
lstCampus.DataBind();

Tried this but no luck:
Dim lst As ListItemCollection
lst = Campuses.GetCampuses(Session("gblDistrictID"), conn)
lstCampus.DataSource = lst
lstCampus.DataBind()

I assume that is what you were suggesting.

does it give any error...

i was typecasting it to listitemcollection...Campuses.GetCampuses(Session("gblDistrictID"), conn)

just typecast it to listitemcollection in vb and see...

No it didnt give an error it just provided same result as what I explained in my intial post.

Tried this with also the same result as initial post"
lstCampus.DataSource = CType(Campuses.GetCampuses(Session("gblDistrictID"), conn), ListItemCollection)
lstCampus.DataBind()
   AND
lstCampus.DataSource = DirectCast(Campuses.GetCampuses(Session("gblDistrictID"), conn), ListItemCollection)
lstCampus.DataBind()

i guess this is what u need

lstCampus.DataTextField ="CampusName"
                        lstCampus.DataValueField="CampusID"
lstCampus.DataSource = lst
lstCampus.DataBind()

Just to be sure the items in the returned listitemcollection were not the problem I add this:
Dim lst As New ListItemCollection
lst = Campuses.GetCampuses(Session("gblDistrictID"), conn)
For Each item As ListItem In lst
        Response.Write("Text: " & item.Text & "  Value: " & item.Value & "<BR>")
Next

add this was the result:
Text: Sample High School Value: 123456002
Text: Sample Intermediate School Value: 123456100
Text: Sample Middle School Value: 123456041

So I know the items in the returned collection are correct.

Yeah I tried that earlierlstCampus.DataTextField = "CampusName"
lstCampus.DataTextField = "CampusID"
lstCampus.DataSource = Campuses.GetCampuses(Session("gblDistrictID"), conn)
lstCampus.DataBind()

and got the following error:
DataBinder.Eval: 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListItem' does not contain a property with the name CampusID.

Here is Microsoft's example of binding a listitemcollection to litbox:
Dim listBoxData As New ListItemCollection()
listBoxData.Add(New ListItem("apples"))
listBoxData.Add(New ListItem("bananas"))
listBoxData.Add(New ListItem("cherries"))
listBoxData.Add("grapes")
listBoxData.Add("mangos")
listBoxData.Add("oranges")
ListBox1.DataSource = listBoxData
ListBox1.DataBind()

After seeing that it appears that only the text property can be bound.

Just decided to return hashtable instead of listitemcollection.
