Add Items to Columns in a WPF ListView

Solution With Less XAML and More C#

If you define the ListView in XAML:

<ListView x:Name="listView"/>

Then you can add columns and populate it in C#:

public Window(){    // Initialize    this.InitializeComponent();    // Add columns    var gridView = new GridView();    this.listView.View = gridView;    gridView.Columns.Add(new GridViewColumn {         Header = "Id", DisplayMemberBinding = new Binding("Id") });    gridView.Columns.Add(new GridViewColumn {         Header = "Name", DisplayMemberBinding = new Binding("Name") });    // Populate list    this.listView.Items.Add(new MyItem { Id = 1, Name = "David" });}

See definition of MyItem below.

Solution With More XAML and less C#

However, it's easier to define the columns in XAML (inside the ListView definition):

<ListView x:Name="listView">    <ListView.View>        <GridView>            <GridViewColumn Header="Id" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Id}"/>            <GridViewColumn Header="Name" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Name}"/>        </GridView>    </ListView.View></ListView>

And then just populate the list in C#:

public Window(){    // Initialize    this.InitializeComponent();    // Populate list    this.listView.Items.Add(new MyItem { Id = 1, Name = "David" });}

See definition of MyItem below.

MyItem Definition

MyItem is defined like this:

public class MyItem{    public int Id { get; set; }    public string Name { get; set; }}
