Question

I have the following class:

public class MyClass
{
    public ObservableCollection<string> MyList { get; set; }
    public string MyListTitle { get; set; }
...

I’m populating it as follows:

MyClass myClass = new MyClass("Data"); // Populates title

myClass.MyList.Add("Test data 1");
myClass.MyList.Add("Test data 2");

myListView.DataContext = MyClass.MyList;

Finally, here’s the XAML:

<ListView Visibility="Visible" x:Name="myListView" Height="Auto">
    <ScrollViewer x:Name="contentScrollView">
        <TextBlock x:Name="DataItem" Text="{Binding}" />                                
    </ScrollViewer>
</ListView>

The result (and problem) is that I get the class name displayed once in the listview, rather than the two entries above.

Answer 1

You first need to set the ItemsSource property of the ListView to your ObservableCollection

myListView.ItemsSource = myClass.MyList;

Also, you need to use a DataTemplate to display the actual items:

<ListView.ItemTemplate>
 <DataTemplate>
   <TextBlock x:Name="DataItem" Text="{Binding}" /> 
 </DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
