Question

I have a ListView that is bound to an ObservableCollection in the XAML code like this:

<Page
...
DataContext="{Binding Pages, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}" />

<ListView x:Name="lstWebpages" ItemsSource="{Binding}" >

Now I would like to rebind it in code. Something like this:

lstWebpages.DataSource = Pages;
lstWebpages.DataBind();

But since the Pages collection is somehow bound to the Page and the ListView control, I’m a little bit confused?
The problem initially is that I get an error when I try to sort the Pages list as asked here:

Answer 1

I believe all you need to do is assign a different ItemsSource

lstWebpages.ItemsSource = NameOfTheObservableCollection;

or the DataContext

lstWebpages.DataContext = Pages;
