How to refresh DataSource of a ListBox

by

listbox1.DataSource property looks for value changes but by assigning the same list all the time the value won’t really change.

You can use a BindingList<T>, instead of your List<T>, to automatically recognize new items added. Your ShowData() method must be called once at startup.

public partial class MyForm:Form
{
    public MyForm(){
        InitializeComponent();
        ShowData();
    }

    BindingList<MyData> data = new BindingList<MyData>();

    private void ShowData()
    {
       listBox1.DataSource = data;
       listBox1.DisplayMember = "Name";
       listBox1.ValueMember = "Id";
    }

    private void buttonAddData_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
       var selection = (MyData)comboBox1.SelectedItem;
       data.Add(selection);
    }
}
