How to create ListView

The following worked OK when I tried it just now:

// XAML file

xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

DataContext="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}"

Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">

// code behind file

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Text;

using System.Windows;

using System.Windows.Controls;

using System.Windows.Data;

using System.Windows.Documents;

using System.Windows.Input;

using System.Windows.Media;

using System.Windows.Media.Imaging;

using System.Windows.Navigation;

using System.Windows.Shapes;

using System.Collections.ObjectModel; // needed for ObservableCollection

namespace WpfApplication1

{

///

/// Interaction logic for MainWindow.xaml

///

public partial class MainWindow : Window

{

private ObservableCollection persons = new ObservableCollection();

public ObservableCollection Persons

{

get { return persons; }

}

public MainWindow()

{

persons.Add(new Person("Sam Coa", "USA", new DateTime(1977, 6, 5), ""));

persons.Add(new Person("Ram Hoes", "UK", null, ""));

persons.Add(new Person("Anal Deck", "USA", new DateTime(1988, 9, 8), "Singal"));

InitializeComponent();

}

public class Person

{

public string Name { get; set; }

public string Country { get; set; }

public DateTime? DateOfBirth { get; set; }

public string Location { get; set; }

public string DateBornString

{

get

{

if (DateOfBirth == null)

return "";

else

return ((DateTime)DateOfBirth).Date.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy");

}

public Person(string name, string country, DateTime? dateOfBirth, string location)

{

Name = name;

Country = country;

DateOfBirth = dateOfBirth;

Location = location;

}
