Question

I have a working ListView like this

<ListView Name="passageListView" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Passages, NotifyOnTargetUpdated=True}" TargetUpdated="PassageListViewTargetUpdated">

where Passages is an ObservableCollection<>.

Now, how I do the same binding in code? (note that NotifyOnTargetUpdated=True has to be set)

I have tried to assign a Binding to passageListView.ItemsSource but this is not allowed and I can’t use SetBinding() since passageListView.ItemsSourceis not a DependencyProperty?

Any ideas?

Answer 1

try this in the constructor of the control where the ListView is:

passageListView.SetBinding(ListView.ItemsSourceProperty, 
                new Binding
                      {
                          Path = new PropertyPath("Passages"),
                          NotifyOnTargetUpdated = true
                      });

If the DataContext is set properly, this should work.
The DependencyProperty could also be ItemsControl.ItemsSourceProperty, because that is the base class.
