The obvious way is to read that list into a collection and bind your listbox to it. Of course, if your list is huge, it may contain more records than the control can handle, or at least more than is sensible for you to put in to a single list. How large is large ? It sounds to me like you need to rethink your UI. You should certainly try to write code instead of just creating your UI in the designer. That's not programming.
