RadListBox can be bound to all ASP 2.0 and 3.5 DataSource types:

  • AccessDataSource
  • ObjectDataSource
  • XmlDataSource
  • SqlDataSource
  • SiteMapDataSource
  • LinqDataSource
  • EntityDataSource
  • OpenAccessDataSource

All you need to do is set the DataSourceID property of the RadListBox to the ID of the Data Source control. Also, you should set the DataTextField and/or DataValueField properties of the RadListBox to map the Text and Value properties of the Items to the respective columns/fields in the Data Source.
