In Silverlight how do I set a buttons enabled state to be enabled based on items selected in a listbox?

I have a dialog that contains a listbox and the customary ok, cancel buttons. I would like set the enabled state of the ok button to be enabled only if an item in the listbox has been select. I would like to do this with bindings rather than in the code behind.

I may have been going down the wrong route but I have being trying to do something like the following

IsEnabled="{Binding ElementName=ProjectList, Path=??? }"  

As you can probably see I have no idea what would go in the "Path"

If ProjectList is the name of the list box then you should be able to use SelectedItem.

You will need to bind through a converter that checks for the SelectedItem being null and returning false in that case.

So your XAML becomes:

IsEnabled="{Binding ElementName=ProjectList, Path=SelectedItem, Converter={StaticResource SelectedItemToBool}}"  

and the selector looks something like this:

public class SelectedItemToBool : IValueConverter {     public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)     {         return value != null;     }      public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)     {         throw new NotImplementedException();     } }
