ListPicker in WP7 not showing items?

Question

XAML:

<toolkit:ListPicker  x:Name="payerMenu"  Height="588" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="34,11,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="234" ExpansionMode="ExpansionAllowed"></toolkit:ListPicker>

Code behind:

private void PhoneApplicationPage_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
     payerMenu.ItemsSource = App.Instance.namesList;
}

namesList is a List<string>. Items are added to that list from another page. When I return to the main page, there are no items shown in the ListPicker. However, I manually print the contents of the ListPicker items in a textblock, all the items are printed

private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
       foreach(var item in payerMenu.Items)
       {
           textBlock1.Text += item.ToString();
       }
    }

This means there items "are" in the ListPicker, for some reason it not showing. I tried hardcoding few items to start with, those items come up in the ListPicker, but not the user added ones.

Check if App.Instance.namesList is a property, not a field.
