DataBinding in WPF Application

In this article I am going to show how we can connect our WPF application with Data Base. Here I am binding a List Box with DB. I am showing Id, Name, Email, City in a List Box.

Below is my XAML code:

<Window x:Class="DataBindingInWPF.Window1"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    Title="Data binding In WPF" Height="423" Width="368" Loaded="Window_Loaded">
    <Grid>
        <ListBox Margin="73,10,29,10" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=EMP}" Name="lstEmployee">
            <ListBox.ItemTemplate>
                <DataTemplate>
                    <StackPanel>
                        <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=ID}" />
                        <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Name}" />
                        <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Email}" />
                        <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=City}" />
                        <TextBlock Text="--------------------" />
                    </StackPanel>
                </DataTemplate>
            </ListBox.ItemTemplate>
        </ListBox>
    </Grid>
</Window>
 

Below is my Window.xaml.cs code:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows.Data;
using System.Windows.Documents;
using System.Windows.Input;
using System.Windows.Media;
using System.Windows.Media.Imaging;
using System.Windows.Navigation;
using System.Windows.Shapes;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.SqlClient; 

namespace DataBindingInWPF
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Interaction logic for Window1.xaml
    /// </summary>
    public partial class Window1 : Window
    {
         public Window1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        } 

        private void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            BindData();
        } 

        public void BindData()
        {
            using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection("Data Source=.; Initial Catalog=Test; Uid=sa; pwd=pwd"))
            {
                SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("Select * From Employee", con);
                DataSet ds = new DataSet();
                SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter();
                try
                {
                    con.Open();
                    da.SelectCommand = cmd;
                    da.Fill(ds, "EMP");
                    lstEmployee.DataContext = ds;
                }
                catch (Exception ex)
                {
                }
                finally
                {
                    con.Close();
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
 

When you run the application then Output:
