This article demonstrates how to create the ListView
Contents by using GridView and Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML) and
also by using code and also demonstrates a specific feature of the Windows
Presentation Foundation.
The ListView control is a great example of WPF to bind
the data from the database- the possibilities are almost endless. This article
on the ListView will hopefully useful for biggners. i am starting today with a
simple grid based list view, showing how to create columns and some different
ways of getting data into those columns.
Now You can define the view mode of a GridView by
specifying GridViewColumn objects. The following example shows how to define
GridViewColumn objects that bind to the data content that is specified for the
ListView control. This GridView example specifies three GridViewColumn objects
that map to the Name, EMail, and CreatedDate fields of the DataSource that is
set as the ItemsSource of the ListView control.
Example: Write the following code on
the window1.xaml file.
Window1.xaml:
<Window
x:Class="WpfApplication2.Window1"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"Title="ListView"
Height="350"
Width="400"
Loaded="Window1_Loaded">
<Window.Resources>
<DataTemplate
x:Key="FirstCell">
<StackPanel
Orientation="Horizontal"></StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</Window.Resources>
<Grid>
<ListView
ItemsSource="{Binding}"
Name="lstView"
Background="LightGray">
<ListView.View>
<GridView>
<GridView.Columns>
<GridViewColumn
Header="Name"
DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding
Path=User_LoginID}"
Width="75"/>
<GridViewColumn
Header="EMail"
DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding
Path=User_EMail}"
Width="200"/>
<GridViewColumn
Header="CreatedDate"
DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding
Path=IsCreatedDate}"
Width="125"/>
</GridView.Columns>
</GridView>
</ListView.View>
</ListView>
</Grid>
</Window>
Window1.xaml.cs:

Dim cmd As New SqlCommand("select

convert(varchar(12),IsCreatedDate,107)IsCreatedDate from tbl_User", con)
Dim sqlDa

sqlDa.SelectCommand = cmd
sqlDa.Fill(ds)
lstView.DataContext = ds.Tables(0).DefaultView
End Sub

Output:
