Fill ListBox with ListBoxItems using Entity Framework

Introduction

In this blog we will see how we can fill ListBox with ListBoxItems using entity framework.

Step 1: Create ASP.NET Web Application

Form1.cs

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        EmployeeDBEntities emp = new EmployeeDBEntities();
        private void btnForward_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            listBox2.Items.Add(listBox1.SelectedItem);
            int i = 0;
            i = listBox1.SelectedIndex;
            listBox1.Items.RemoveAt(i);
        }

        private void btnBackward_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            listBox1.Items.Add(listBox2.SelectedItem);
            int i = 0;
            i = listBox2.SelectedIndex;
            listBox2.Items.RemoveAt(i);
        }

        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

            foreach (var p in emp.Employees)
            {
                listBox1.Items.Add(p.FirstName);
            }
        }
    }
}

Output of the application looks like this
