      <h1>Using Generics</h1>
      These two list boxes illustrates the use of two <em>Generic</em> <code>List</code> collections
      
      <asp:ListBox ID="lboxStrings" runat="server"    />
       
      <asp:ListBox ID="lboxCustomers" runat="server" 
         DataTextField="Name"
         DataValueField="Id" />    

     This list boxes illustrates the use of a <em>Generic</em> <code>Dictionary</code> collection

      <asp:ListBox ID="lboxDictionary" runat="server" 
         DataTextField="Value"
         DataValueField="Key" />            
   </div>
    </form>
