Solution 1

Are you using System.Windows.Forms.ListBox.

If you are in Windoows application you do not need to use DataBind. If you set DataSource and DispayMember it would be fine.

What problem do you face if you omit the line ListBox1.DataBind?

Problem solved. Thank you guys for help me.

Populating listbox with desired SQL colmn:

Correct code:

namespace MovieProject
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}

private void AutoradioButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection("Server=CHRIS-PC\\SQLEXPRESS;Database=Tblcat;" +
"Integrated Security=True");

SqlCommand scmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT Description FROM Moviecat", conn);

DataSet sds = new DataSet();

conn.Open();

SqlDataAdapter sadptr = new SqlDataAdapter(scmd);
sadptr.Fill(sds, "Moviecat");

if (sds.Tables["Moviecat"].Rows.Count == 0)

{

MessageBox.Show("There are no DB.");

}

else
{

this.listBox1.DataSource = sds.Tables["Moviecat"];
this.listBox1.DisplayMember = "Description";

}

conn.Close();

}

}
}
