When I call the function
FoodList.Items.Clear();

It returns "NotSupported_ReadOnlyCollection"

actually, the FoodList contained an array inside.

Can anyone help me?

The significant problems we face cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them

Is the Item List created using DataBining or you manually added the ListBoxItem? I found if it is created using DataBinding then the List.Items is the List of your Data and it is read only. You can set List.ItemsSource = null to clear the list. If you manully added ListBoxItem then the List.Items.IsReadOnly = false. You can call List.Items.Clear();

so the code to clear a Listbox should be:

if(list.ItemsSource == null)

     list.Items.Clear()

else

    list.ItemsSource = null;  // this will clear the list

So have you tried to set the ItemsSource = null ? Does it work?

if(list.ItemsSource == null || !list.Items.IsReadOnly)

     list.Items.Clear()

 Hey man, just use "null".. It will clear the list.

using System.Windows.Documents;
using System.Windows.Input;

namespace SilverlightApplication10 {
    public partial class Page : UserControl {
        public Page() {
            InitializeComponent();
            //SilverlightControl1 slCtl1 = new SilverlightControl1();
            //LayoutRoot.Children.Add(slCtl1);
            //SimplyActivity sa = new SimplyActivity();
            //LayoutRoot.Children.Add(sa);
            List<string> l = new List<string>();
            l.Add("Michael Sync");
            l.Add("Lilian");
            l.Add("Julia");
            l.Add("Jack");
            l.Add("Peter");
            lst.ItemsSource = l;

        }

        private void btn_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) {
            try {
                lst.ItemsSource = null;
            }
            catch (Exception ex) {
                Console.Write(ex.Message);
            }
        }
    }
}
