Databinding custom objects - wpf

Question

public class Employee : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
// Private Properties
private string _name;
private List<string> _address;
// The Public properties for which the getters and setters are implemented appropriately (raising OnPropertyChanged event)
}
public class EmployeeRecords: ObservableCollection<Employee>
{
public bool AddEmployee(Employee employee)
{
Add(employee);
return true;
}
public bool RemoveEmployee(int index)
{
if (Count > 0)
{
RemoveAt(index); // is the same as doing 'RemoveAt(SelectedIndex);'
}
return true;
}
}

{
private EmployeeRecords _empRecords;
public MainWindow()
{

Initialize();
lstEmployee.ItemsSource = _empRecords;
}

}
I'm trying to display all the properties of Employee in the 1st listBox and just the addresses in the 2nd ListBox. Can someone tell me what i'm doing wrong here?
Since I can't explicitly access the Employee object within EmployeeRecords, how can I bind the Address list inside of Employee to a control?
Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Assuming that you want to display the address of the selected Employee in the second ListBox, the following should work.
<ListBox Grid.Row="1" Name="listAddress" Height="180" Width="190" Canvas.Top="5" Canvas.Left="400" ItemsSource="{Binding ElementName=lstEmployee, Path=SelectedItem.Address}"/>
Note:
I have assumed that the public property name for the backing field private List<string> _address; is Address
