This exercise is provided to allow potential course delegates to choose the correct Wise Owl Microsoft training course, and may not be reproduced in whole or in part in any format without the prior written consent of Wise Owl.
In a new or existing project, add the existing form from the folder shown above. Make this the default form, so that this is what you see when you run your application:
Who'll be next? You can decide on the short-list.
Add code to the button so that it creates a string array of candidates (yours can be different!):
// create array of candidates
string[] candidates = { "Sooty",
"Boris Johnson", "Adam Ant",
"Simon Cowell", "Oliver Owl" };
Add LINQ code to create a query expression to enumerate these names in alphabetical order, then show these names in the listbox using code like this:
// add these to the listbox
lstCandidates.DataSource = DoctorWhoCandidates.ToList();
A listbox won't accept an IEnumerable collection as its data source, so that's why you need to cast the results to a list. But you knew that, didn't you?
Test that when you click on the button, the names appear in the listbox!
