WPF: Binding to a Directory

Is there an example somewhere of binding, a ListBox for example, to a directory? I'm guessing this will involve actually binding to something involving FileSystemWatcher so that the ListBox is updated accordingly.

I don't know that you can bind to a directory. However, you can bind to an ObserveableCollection and then use the FileSystemWatcher's events to update that ObserveableCollection, which in turn will update your listbox.

If you are using .NET 4 you can use new Directory.EnumurateFiles.

as it returns IEnumerable you might need to wrap it up with ObservableCollection to make it WPF MVVM friendly
