WPF binding Listbox layoutpanel - wpf

Question

I´m using devexpress and I want to do a binding with a Listbox, but I have an error. Here my code:
<ListBox x:Name="_list" >
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<dxd:LayoutPanel
Caption="{Binding nameList}"
AllowHide ="False" AllowFloat="False"
GotFocus="panel_GotFocus" >
<TextBox Text="Hello" />
</dxd:LayoutPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
With this code, Caption {Binding nameList} is empty.
I have tried this.
<ListBox x:Name="_list" >
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid>
<TextBox Text="{Binding nameList}" />
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
In this case, text in TextBox is correct, I need to use the first code.

You seem to be a bit confused about how to use this ListBox. First, you need a collection property to bind to the ListBox.ItemsSource property. Let's say you have a collection of User objects called Users:
<ListBox ItemSource="{Binding Users}" />
Now we want to define how each User should be displayed... all the properties of the User class will be available to the Binding inside the DataTemplate. Let's say that the User class has two properties; Name and Age:
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type YourDataTypeNamespace:User}">
<StackPanel>
<TextBox Text="{Binding Name}" />
<TextBox Text="{Binding Age}" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
Then putting it all together:
<ListBox ItemSource="{Binding Users}">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type YourDataTypeNamespace:User}">
<StackPanel>
<TextBox Text="{Binding Name}" />
<TextBox Text="{Binding Age}" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
