Examples

The following example shows how to specify a GridView object as the View for a ListView control.

ListView myListView = new ListView();

GridView myGridView = new GridView();
myGridView.AllowsColumnReorder = true; 
myGridView.ColumnHeaderToolTip = "Employee Information";

GridViewColumn gvc1 = new GridViewColumn();
gvc1.DisplayMemberBinding = new Binding("FirstName");
gvc1.Header = "FirstName";
gvc1.Width = 100;
myGridView.Columns.Add(gvc1);
GridViewColumn gvc2 = new GridViewColumn();
gvc2.DisplayMemberBinding = new Binding("LastName");
gvc2.Header = "Last Name";
gvc2.Width = 100;
myGridView.Columns.Add(gvc2);
GridViewColumn gvc3 = new GridViewColumn();
gvc3.DisplayMemberBinding = new Binding("EmployeeNumber");
gvc3.Header = "Employee No.";
gvc3.Width = 100;
myGridView.Columns.Add(gvc3);

//ItemsSource is ObservableCollection of EmployeeInfo objects
myListView.ItemsSource = new myEmployees();
myListView.View = myGridView;
myStackPanel.Children.Add(myListView);

Dim myListView As New ListView()

Dim myGridView As New GridView()
myGridView.AllowsColumnReorder = True
myGridView.ColumnHeaderToolTip = "Employee Information"

Dim gvc1 As New GridViewColumn()
gvc1.DisplayMemberBinding = New Binding("FirstName")
gvc1.Header = "FirstName"
gvc1.Width = 100
myGridView.Columns.Add(gvc1)
Dim gvc2 As New GridViewColumn()
gvc2.DisplayMemberBinding = New Binding("LastName")
gvc2.Header = "Last Name"
gvc2.Width = 100
myGridView.Columns.Add(gvc2)
Dim gvc3 As New GridViewColumn()
gvc3.DisplayMemberBinding = New Binding("EmployeeNumber")
gvc3.Header = "Employee No."
gvc3.Width = 100
myGridView.Columns.Add(gvc3)

'ItemsSource is ObservableCollection of EmployeeInfo objects
myListView.ItemsSource = New myEmployees()
myListView.View = myGridView
myStackPanel.Children.Add(myListView)

<ListView.View>

  <GridView AllowsColumnReorder="true"
            ColumnHeaderToolTip="Employee Information">

    <GridViewColumn DisplayMemberBinding=
                        "{Binding Path=FirstName}" 
                    Header="First Name" Width="100"/>
      
                <GridViewColumn DisplayMemberBinding=
                        "{Binding Path=LastName}" 
                    Width="100">
                    <GridViewColumnHeader>Last Name
                        <GridViewColumnHeader.ContextMenu>
                        <ContextMenu  MenuItem.Click="LastNameCM_Click"  
                                      Name="LastNameCM">
                            <MenuItem Header="Ascending" />
                            <MenuItem Header="Descending" />
                        </ContextMenu>
