Bind MultiSelect to Object Collection

Bind MultiSelect for WPF control to a list of complex data objects which can have multiple properties. To bind the control to a list of data objects, follow these steps:

1. Create a class named Customer using the following code.

   Public Class Customer
       Private name As String
       Private customerID As String
       Private mobile As String
       Private email As String
       Public Sub New(ByVal _name As String, ByVal _custId As String,
                      ByVal _mobile As String, ByVal _email As String)
           Me.name = _name
           Me.customerID = _custId
           Me.mobile = _mobile
           Me.email = _email
       End Sub
       Public Property Name As String
           Get
               Return name
           End Get
       End Property
       Public Property CustomerID As String
           Get
               Return customerID
           End Get
       End Property
       Public Property Mobile As String
           Get
               Return mobile
           End Get
       End Property
       Public Property Email As String
           Get
               Return email
           End Get
       End Property
   End Class

   public class Customer
   {
       string name;
       string customerID;
       string mobile;
       string email;
       public Customer(string _name, string _custId, string _mobile, string _email)
       {
           this.name = _name;
           this.customerID = _custId;
           this.mobile = _mobile;
           this.email = _email;
       }
       public string Name
       {
           get
           {
               return name;
           }
       }
       public string CustomerID
       {
           get
           {
               return customerID;
           }
       }
       public string Mobile
       {
           get
           {
               return mobile;
           }
       }
       public string Email
       {
           get
           {
               return email;
           }
       }
   }

2. Add objects of Customer class to a BindingList and set C1MultiSelect’s ItemsSource and DisplayMemberPath properties at Window_Loaded event.

   Public customers As BindingList(Of Customer)
   Private Sub Window_Loaded(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RoutedEventArgs)
       customers = New BindingList(Of Customer)()
       customers.Add(New Customer("John", "C001", "8888832141", "john@gmail.com"))
       customers.Add(New Customer("Alex", "C002", "8888832142", "@gmail.com"))
       customers.Add(New Customer("Shawn", "C003", "8888832143", "shawn@gmail.com"))
       customers.Add(New Customer("Sam", "C004", "8888832144", "sam@gmail.com"))
       customers.Add(New Customer("Neo", "C005", "8888832145", "neo@gmail.com"))
       customers.Add(New Customer("Paul", "C006", "8888832146", "paul@gmail.com"))
       Me.mselect.DataContext = customers
   End Sub

   public BindingList<Customer> customers;
   private void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
   {
        customers = new BindingList<Customer>();
        customers.Add(new Customer("John", "C001", "8888832141", "john@gmail.com"));
        customers.Add(new Customer("Alex", "C002", "8888832142", "@gmail.com"));
        customers.Add(new Customer("Shawn", "C003", "8888832143", "shawn@gmail.com"));
        customers.Add(new Customer("Sam", "C004", "8888832144", "sam@gmail.com"));
        customers.Add(new Customer("Neo", "C005", "8888832145", "neo@gmail.com"));
        customers.Add(new Customer("Paul", "C006", "8888832146", "paul@gmail.com"));
        this.mselect.DataContext = customers;       
   }
