I want to display CustomerList\CustomerName property items to the listBox using ItemsSource DisplayMemberPath property only. But it is not working. I do not want to use DataContext or any other binding in my problem. Please help. My code is given below:

MainWindow.xaml.cs

namespace BindingAnItemControlToAList
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Interaction logic for MainWindow.xaml
    /// </summary>
    public partial class MainWindow : Window
    {
        public MainWindow()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }
    }

    public class Customer
    {
        public string Name {get;set;}
        public string LastName { get; set; }
    }
    public class CustomerList 
    { 
        public List<Customer> Customers { get; set; }
        public List<string> CustomerName { get; set; }
        public List<string> CustomerLastName { get; set; }
        public CustomerList() 
        { 
            Customers = new List<Customer>();
            CustomerName = new List<string>();
            CustomerLastName = new List<string>();
            CustomerName.Add("Name1");
            CustomerLastName.Add("LastName1");
            CustomerName.Add("Name2");
            CustomerLastName.Add("LastName2");

            Customers.Add(new Customer() { Name = CustomerName[0], LastName = CustomerLastName[0] });
            Customers.Add(new Customer() { Name = CustomerName[1], LastName = CustomerLastName[1] });
        } 
    } 
}

**MainWindow.Xaml**
<Window x:Class="BindingAnItemControlToAList.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:local="clr-namespace:BindingAnItemControlToAList"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525" Loaded="Window_Loaded" >
    <Window.Resources>
        <local:CustomerList x:Key="Cust"/>
    </Window.Resources>
    <Grid Name="Grid1">
        <ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource Cust}}"  DisplayMemberPath="CustomerName" Height="172" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="27,23,0,0" Name="lstStates" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="245" />
           </Grid>
</Window>
