Bind wpf listbox to ObservableCollection of tuples

Question

I have created ObservableCollection<Tuple<string,string>> servers; every tuple contains two fields Is it possible to bind this collection to listBox - so, that after binding there are only name strings in this listBox?

the Name String - is the first string from the tuple

private ObservableCollection<Tuple<string,string>> nameVals;

 public ObservableCollection<Tuple<string,string>> NameVals
        {
            get
            {
                if (nameVals == null)
                     nameVals= new ObservableCollection<Tuple<string, string>>(Helpers.getNamesAndValues("ololo"));
                return nameVals;
            }
        }

Please clarify your question. What "name strings" are you referring to? Can you provide an example of something you've tried? — Jony Adamit, Sep 04 '15 at 12:44

You can bind the ItemsSource of your ListBox to your ObservableCollection (!must be a property) and set DisplayMemberPath="Item1" on the ListBox.
