I have a listbox where I bind the ItemsSource to a collection stored in the set DataContext object. This makes the list displayed using the ToString() function.
<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding SomeCollection}"></ListBox>
Now I want to display a property for the objects in the collection instead. So I want to define a template etc to do this on all the objects in the bound list. I tried a variety of different approaches without success. I'd like to do something like this:
<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding SomeCollection}">
<ListBox.Template>
<ControlTemplate>
<ListViewItem Content="{Binding ThePropertyOnElm}"></ListViewItem>
</ControlTemplate>
</ListBox.Template>
</ListBox>
Can anyone help me make this right?

you don't need to specify a template, you can just use the DisplayMemberPath property, like so:
hope this helps!
