Display object property in ListBox

I'd like to display the property "Title" from a list of objects in a ListBox:

<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding SelectableSurveysByYear}"
         DisplayMemberPath="{Binding Title}" 
         SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedSurvey}">

However, instead of the titles, all I see is the name of my class, three times. SelectableSurveysByYear is an ObservableCollection of Surveys:

public class Survey
{
    public string Title { get; set; }
}

Where is my flaw?

The DisplayMemberPath property doesn't support the Binding syntax. Try the following:

<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding SelectableSurveysByYear}"
     DisplayMemberPath="Title" 
     SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedSurvey}">

Oh.. the flaw was in defining DisplayMemberPath. This works:

   <ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding SelectableSurveysByYear}"
         DisplayMemberPath="Title" 
         SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedSurvey}">
